5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful...Emotional...Powerful, July 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: In America (DVD)

This is a film that will haunt for some time. The acting is superb; the script well-written. It is a true gem, quite different from Hollywood fare.

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet film about family, loss and new beginnings, July 18 2004

By

J. Jacobs - See all my reviews

This review is from: In America (DVD)

This story, about an Irish family that immigrates to Manhattan after the death of a son, is a sweet film about family, loss and new beginnings.

What I liked best about the movie were the very strong performances by the two young girls and the neighbor, Mateo.

On the down side, I sometimes found the Irish accents hard to understand and details were sometimes unrealistic.

The story wasn't strong enough for me to consider it outstanding, but it's an interesting watch, a nice change of pace from Hollywood and a good family film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Maybe this would have worked as a book
Not a plausible movie. Frustrating to watch. Car and posessions would have been stolen, kids would have been killed or kidnapped day one.

Many of the situations in this movie, while very moving, are not realistic at all. The most prominent scenes are either overblown out of proportions or simply irrational in a... Read more

I have met tons more interesting immigrants of every nation in real life with far sadder stories who were not as annoying as the family in this movie. Read more
