Summary: This is My Father
Review: This movie was a wonderful movie to watch. The movie was full of complex and at time conflicting emotion. The plot kept you interested through out the whole movie. The only draw back is the constant moving from past to present that I found really distracting. But all in all I would highly recommend this movie particularly if you are interested in the Irish culture and love stories with interesting psychological/emotional plots.

Summary: Tear Jerker
Review: This movie was on very late one night. After looking at it for a few minutes I realized that this was a true to life movie about an Irish Romeo and Juliet. This is a tear jerker and everyone will enjoy this. I cried for the lovers and the reality of it all. This is one good movie for everyone.

Review: Why don't we ever hear about great films like this one. It has a wonderful story with a tearful conclusion. It is worth seeing, if only for the glimpse of Irish culture in 1939 and surely accurate depiction of the Catholic Church of that time. One gets the notion that in the Irish countryside of today, the Church probably still operates as it does in this film.

Aidan Quinn, who went out of his way to make this film, is terrific in his part as Kieran O'Day. He gained weight for the film and it is far from a glitzy role. Actually, all the acting is top notch and the characters are all believeable. Having grown up in a Catholic Church that is very close to what is portrayed in the film, made it even more interesting for me.

It's not a flashy film, but one of the best of this century.
