Day-Lewis was amazing in this. Need to see it again to give it a fair rating.
Daniel Day-Lewis č spettacolare, perņ il film non č che mi abbia fatto impazzire.
Devo preoccuparmi?
powerful film and a treat to see Day-Lewis at his method finest. Great story and humbling in equal measure. Makes me put my cold in perspective... thought the mum was very good too as the boy. cant wait for the sequel...
Incredibly gripping and moving, with an amazing performance from Day-Lewis.
How inspiring and so uplifting one just has to have the determination that nothing is impossible if one has a will to do it , superb acting turned by day-lewis
This is the first collaboration between Jim Sheridan and Daniel Day Lewis. Good story...
A worth see! Touching portrait of rural UK life with a son with cerebral palsy. Folksy (wonderful!) wonderfully homespun dialogue........a superb performance!

I liked it but I am into that kind of low key viewpoint...The story is sad but also about overcoming & the lead character did just that! It gave me a sense of pride!
