Summary: Ireland's triumph!
Review:
This masterwork around the awful disgrace of a man who just can move his only foot is a wisdom experience of life about how strive against the adversity and the fate.

Superb performance of Daniel Day Lewis and overwhelming acting of Brenda Fricker who were happy winners of the Academy Award.

A must see and a towering film.

Summary: This is not a Movie..this is a LIFE !!
Review: ...First , i have to admitt that i've never ever heared about this movie bofore one night i was just watching the T.v and there it was..and i guess i was lucky...i didn't feel like watching a movie i felt like beeing a witness of that man's life...as if i was a member of his family or even as if i was him....Daniel day lewis' great performance makes you feel all the non-spoken feelings...personally, daniel day lewis became my favourite actor since i've seen that beautifull movie....the movie is about life so it's full of joy as it's full of sadness, you'll smile as you'll tear. very senstive and heart catching....the movie is divided ito chapters..which are the chapters of the autobiography of the writer ..in each a portrait by painting and by words for every one who did impact the writer...the tender mother, the furious father who held unshowed tenderness and more..........if you are browsing to buy it...do it with out thinking.. :))

Summary: Day-Lewis is Incredible in this Inspiring True Story...
Review: Admittedly, when I first saw this movie many years ago, I thought that the director had hired an actor with cerebral palsy to play Christy Brown! That's how good Daniel Day-Lewis is in this film. Taking absolutely nothing from the rest of the movie's cast, but I became a fan of this great actor almost from the opening scene. (I read somewhere that during filming, Day-Lewis spent the entire three-month shoot confined to his weelchair - even off camera! Talk about focus, concentration and dedication.)

To say that this film did justice to the life and times of Christy Brown would be an understatement.

Summary: This was one of the best!
Review: As my topic sentence says, this was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It had incredible pace and the acting was terrific. If this doesn't make you feel good at the end, I don't know of any movie that will. A great story of strength and determination. Well worth your $$$.

Summary: It's not sentimental schlock, hurrah!
Review: At first I felt quite apprehensive about this film, because based on its subject matter I was afraid that it would be a typically saccharine "triumph of the human spirit" movie. I'm glad that I brushed my fears aside and saw it, because this is a movie that manages to be heartwarming without being sentimental. Of course, Day-Lewis's acting is incredible, and just to say that it's believable in a role such as this one is high praise. But then, I disliked Shine, so you should take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Summary: One foot dipped in greatness
Review: Daniel Day-Lewis stars in the true tale of Christie Brown, born and raised in the slums of Dublin, crippled except for the use of his left foot. This is a story of great triumph over poverty, disability and ignorance. Christie learns to write, paint and live with only his singular functioning limb and exceptional mind to call upon. This movie will give you the same inspirational and uplifting feeling you get when little animals get rescued from wells or if you've just watched The Shawshank Redemption.... And being an Irish film, set in Dublin, its also very, very funny in places making it a complete cinematic experience. Director Jim Sheridan makes great films, and this is his finest hour.

Summary: Well acted by Day-Lewis, yet still overrated
Review: Day-Lewis is absolutely terrific in a tough role to make convincing, but I do disagree with most critics that it was any kind of masterpiece. Why do they say it is unsentimental when indeed it often is (at least to me it is). Though there are indeed gripping moments, the story has better potential than this and too often resorts to cliches. Yet overall, a pretty good view.

Summary: Fabulous film
Review: I could not believe Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in this movie. I just recently rented My Left Foot for the first time, having recalled that he won an Oscar for it. He fully deserved the honor. Never have I seen an actor so completely throw himself into his role. This is One Good Movie.
