This heartwarming story shows the strength of the human bond in the face of adversity.
Directed by Nick Kelly, The Drummer and the Keeper leans on a strong ensemble — Dermot Murphy, Jacob McCarthy, Adrian Hudson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2017.
