A film about life, laughter, and the occasional miracle.
Drama
Synopsis
No one expects much from Christy Brown, a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working-class Irish family. Though Christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous event occurs when, at the age of 5, he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor. With the help of his steely mother — and no shortage of grit and determination — Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter, poet and author.

Daniel Day Lewis is amazing as Christy Brown. The movie overall is good.

I highly recommend that you just read the book instead. This movie doesn't capture anything from what makes Christy Brown's story interesting

That was a good film, I enjoyed it. Daniel Day-Lewis definitely put all his left foot into that, a good performance as always.

This is the movie where Daniel Day-Lewis truly shines. Easily his best performance role to date, with Lincoln and There Will Be Blood respectively going after. I don't have time now to do a full review, I'll update this later, but go watch this movie! I'm actually shocked at how few people have seen this. Incredible display of acting talent.
