--THE IRISH TIMES

Emmy-winning filmmaker Niall McKay's charming and witty homage to his father takes us on a journey from the depth of depression to the heights of new beginnings, marriage, proposals and homecomings. The story explores Niall's relationship with his father Jim, a bass playing jazz musician, who in the 1970s raised his two young sons on his own in Dublin. Masterfully told, beautifully shot, and scored by Jim's jazz music, The Bass Player, questions what it means to be a son, a husband and a father.
