The Pier is a simple story of the personal, and very human, battle between an Irish father and his emigrant son. Called home from New York by his long-estranged father, who reportedly is on his deathbed, Larry McCarthy finds the old man has worked yet another con on him. An amusing battle of wills follows.
Filmed in New York and West Cork, Ireland, The Pier stars Karl Johnson, Gerard Hurley and Lili Taylor. Hurley wrote, directed and acts in this film.
“… never comes close to striking a bum note.”
– The Irish Times critic Donald Clarke
