| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatRiveting political drama about the importance of conscience and following the imperatives of the heart. |
| User ReviewKelly OTouching movie of true events in Northern Ireland. Helen and Fionnula work so well together, the score brilliantly drives the action in several of the early scenes. |
| User ReviewKevin Fits aboot bobby sands and the hunger strikers |
| User ReviewSunshine sthank to this touching movie I learned a lot about an important part of story about my beautiful continent. Up with the guys of the H block, their sacrifice will last forever... |
| User Reviewedwina fMirren is intensely powerful, and Flanagan is great too. Powerful historical drama about a hunger strike in 1981 by IRA prisoners protesting against the treatment of these prisoners as criminals instead of prisoners of war. |
| User ReviewChristopher MIt's irish. 5 stars straight away! But seriously I may be biased but I enjoy all films about the troubles in Ireland. |

| User ReviewPrivate UOne of the Best movies I will ever see in my life |
| User ReviewKate GAnother great Irish film--hard to watch, but worth it. Bring your Kleenex. |
| User ReviewZeynep BÄ° watched this movie more than 5 times. Helen Mirren, Aidan Gillen, John Lynch; they are takin you and bringing to that period of the Ä°rish history, and make you feel a part of it. And one of the scenes i will never forget; Aidan Gillen ( Gerard Quigley ) begins to hunger strike, and his sister, his brother and his mother comes visit him. His body becomes weak, and he comes with a chair to see them; he barely talks and he says to her sister : '' Ä° want you to respect to the things i believe. And you know what, things were never been as cleaned as they are now... ''. With tears in his eyes... Ahh... Such a good movie it is... The scenes in prison... All of them looks like Jesus after a while... This is such a good movie full of secret messages, and touching scenes; absolutly not enough to watch one time... |
