Format: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.

sweet film about family, loss and new beginnings July 18 2004
Format: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.

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.

was not that great at all
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
