Following the tragic death of their five-year-old son Frankie, Irish couple Johnny and Sarah Sullivan and their remaining two offspring, 10 year old Christy Sullivan and 5 year old Ariel Sullivan, emigrate illegally to the United States via Canada with little in their pockets. Their final destination is Manhattan where Johnny hopes to work as a stage actor. They move into a unit in a run town tenement housed primarily with drug addicts, transvestites and one tenant coined "the man who screams". They do whatever they can to eke out a supportive family environment in this difficult situation, the support which ultimately extends to those around them, most specifically "the screamer" who turns out to be an African-American artist named Mateo with AIDS. But the memory of Frankie hangs over the family in good and bad ways, especially as Sarah learns she's pregnant. Christy, who records their life's goings-on with her beloved camcorder, believes that the angel of Frankie has granted her three wishes, which she guards until absolutely needed.
Leave your thoughts about In America.
| New York PostMegan LehmannIt's a wistful yet penetrating film, shot through with magic realism and life-affirming humor, that gets you deep down where you live. |
| DVDTalk.comKeith UhlichNew York is as magical here as was Steven Spielberg's everywhere suburbia in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). |
| Nitrate OnlineElias SavadaA deeply personal, wishful film from Dublin-born and -based director-writer Jim Sheridan, In America is easily one of the year's best features. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWickedly funny and devilishly subversive. It is satire at its most fearless. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerA richly emotional story of a family's salvation, told with heart and surprising humor. |
| Fresno BeeDonald MunroA beautifully wrought, emotionally charged, dark-edged fairy tale of a film. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarOne of the two or three best movies of the year, In America is easily the most emotionally satisfying. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansSeeing [Times Square] through the eyes of Christy and Ariel (and the camera of cinematographer Declan Quinn) makes you believe in the enchanting power of the American dream. |
| Mixed ReviewsMartin ScribbsSheridan rightly points out how often pretend can turn on a dime and become deadly serious. |
| Boulder WeeklyThomas Delapa...To play the two Sullivan daughters, Sheridan casts two real-life sisters, Sarah and Emma Bolger. These moppets are as cute as buttons, and Sheridan uses them to push ours. |
