Movie Reviews

Movie Nation - 10/10 by Roger MooreDaniel Day Lewis, Hugh O’Conor and director Jim Sheridan made damned sure that whatever Hollywood thought, whatever “rewarding a stunt performance ” rationale might enter in filmdom’s collective mind about this bit of work, their combined efforts would be never less than a wholly realized human being.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Sheila BensonThis one you see for the pure love of great movie making. Its tough-minded, unsentimental writing and ferociously brilliant acting--across the board and especially at the top--manage to give a pretty good idea of what Christy Brown, the Dublin-born writer, poet and painter, was all about.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Hal HinsonMy Left Foot is gloriously exultant and hilariously unexpected...Sheridan and his great young star have universalized their broken hero.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThroughout his life, Brown refused to give in to public convention or his own despair; he wouldn't play the victim. Brown labored to express all of his feelings, not just the acceptable ones. Day Lewis works the same way. My Left Foot, a keen match of actor and subject, stands as an eloquent tribute to the talents of both.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertMy Left Foot is a great film for many reasons, but the most important is that it gives us such a complete picture of this man's life. It is not an inspirational movie, although it inspires. It is not a sympathetic movie, although it inspires sympathy. It is the story of a stubborn, difficult, blessed and gifted man who was dealt a bad hand, who played it brilliantly, and who left us some good books, some good paintings and the example of his courage.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Ed GonzalezOne hundred and six minutes is entirely too short a time span for Sheridan to cover Christy's entire life, but the performances are so profound they successfully fill in any and all gaps.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumDay-Lewis's performance is necessarily a bit showy—one has to strain at times to understand all his dialogue because of the character's contorted features—but he puts on a terrific drunk scene, and for all his character's travails the film as a whole winds up surprisingly upbeat.
Empire - 8/10 by Angie ErrigoA rounded portrayal that leaves an overwhelming sense of the miraculousness of life.
User Review - 10/10 by TootsieWootsyWonderful Biographical film.Truly an inspirational, immensely touching tale of a patient suffering from cerebral palsy.No match for Sir Daniel Day Lewis as he gives his heart and soul for his method.
User Review - 10/10 by Gamzguy17This is an eye-opening bio of an amazing artist, cruelly entrapped by the outcome of nature's genetic dice, break past any bars placed on him in early life and flourished into an astonishing intellect with a knack to paint, write, critique, and delve into deep conversation. 
Praise aside, the film makes sure to deliver the appropriate amount of lows that have hit this man's life, giving us a-plenty to sympathize with and empathize with what any of us could have accomplished if given the same circumstances as him. How did he go about doing all this? The film's title is a clear giveaway.
