MCT:July 5, 2008This movie has an amazing way of sneaking up on you. You know all along that the story is sad and hurtful but you think you can deal with it until a ten-year-old breaks your heart in the last two minutes of the film and you're just left with, "What just happened?" This is the first film from director Jim Sheridan that I've seen but I fell in love with the way he tells this particular story and the performances he gets out of the actors are outstanding. People may know Djimon Hounsou for his Oscar-nominated performance in Blood Diamond, but now I see he was great way before that. Samantha Morton simply takes your breathe away, but the real heat of this film are Sarah and Emma Bolger.

The preview made this seem pretty sappy, but I was very impressed. It handled some pretty heavy topics in an interesting way without getting maudlin or sentimental.

An Irish family tries to start anew in NYC, US, penniless, ambiguously happy, with some historical skeleton in their family closet. Narrated from the viewpoint of a child (6, 8, or so), 'In America' is the textbook of rich life taken for granted.
This was one movie I procrastinated seeing. I can see I made a seriously life-size error of judgment. -

Normally I'd shun a film that has poverty as it's core but the cast, story and direction are all top-notch. Recommended.

After 'My Left Foot', 'In the Name of the Father', and 'The Boxer', Jim Sheridan knows how to evoke the truest of human emotions. He lives up to his promise here in 'In America', a masterly semi-autobiographical account of an Irish immigrant family's struggle to pursue the American dream in New York City.
