Genres: Drama / Youth

Feat. Anthony Borrows, Ian Hart, Claire Hackett
Aroview: Exploring an Irish childhood made grim by Roman Catholicism, this is like a more intimate ANGELA’S ASHES, governed as it is by the point of view of seven-year-old Anthony Borrows. Dir. Frears coaxes fine performances from Ian Hart and Claire Hackett (his parents) as the family implodes from poverty during the Great Depression, his father turning in anger to fascist politics.

4 stars (Very Good) The streets and the other Lancashire locations look very authentic for the period being depicted and the screenplay doesn't tread softly when dealing with the effects of the depression on individuals and their families. ~Tubbs
