Jim Sheridan - My Left Foot (1989)

A Pleasant Surprise, 19 November 2005

Author: JSlack-2 from USA

This biography of Christy Brown, the Dubliner who overcame grievous physical impediments to achieve fame as an artist and writer, trades in traditional sentimentality for intelligence, wit and genuine feeling.

As the victim of cerebral palsy whose eyes shine bright with burning emotions and whose foot becomes the instrument to express those emotions, Daniel Day-Lewis delivers one of the truly great male performances on film. He is so good one wonders how Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino would dare to follow up with characters of a generally similar bent. Daniel Day-Lewis' work here is definitive.

The movies shows us an authentic view of mid-century Dublin, and, not incidentally, it presents one of the finest portraits of a parent-child relationship ever seen, with Brenda Fricker absolutely perfect as Christy's wise and loving mom.

MY LEFT FOOT is testament to the belief that individual creativity need not be diminished by one's physical challenges. This is a feel-good film for discerning audiences.
