Movie Reviews

Matinee Magazine - 8/10 by Chuck RudolphTitanic Town has a few too many quiet moments, most of which go nowhere in particular.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthBrings to the fore the day-to-day horrors of a Northern Ireland family forced to cope with British occupation better than any other I can remember.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Doris ToumarkineA handsome and convincing picture of a region and people in turmoil.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TAnother excellent performance by Julie Walters, one of my favorite actresses, portraying the very brave Belfast wife and mother who starts a peace movement in the early seventies amidst the battle zone between the IRA and British forces that brings fighting and bullets right into their homes. Ciaran Hinds acting is restrained and full of unvoiced tension, showing his great versatility that supports Walters, and lets her shine through.
User Review - 8/10 by Nazzmatazz PJulie Walters is great as usual and Ciaran Hinds is good too
User Review - 8/10 by Trevor JThe ultimate underdog story in more ways than one, Titanic Town slipped mostly under the radar from its release to the present day, perhaps burrowing too deep into a niche subject. Don't let this put you off - this is a surprising, emotionally intense and involving drama, even for we who have little connection to the Troubles. Never caving in and becoming 'worthy' or, more importantly, sentimental, it offers a more personal, affecting view of the blackest era of modern UK history, keeping the tragedy within the confines of a small close-knit neighbourhood / bloodied battlefield. Walters and Hinds, whilst a seemingly odd fit for a couple, are both marvellous; the former perfectly handling the tragic nature of the story with a hint of pluckiness that keeps the film from pure dirge, the latter capturing the animated, misanthropic nature of his character with plenty of believability. Credit too is due to the children, particularly O'Neill, who is superb, and carries the film as much as its two stars. Another plus point is the script - though in a heated debate people probably would not be realistically able to form such magniloquently articulated points and put-downs, the quality of the dialogue shines through, especially in the more dramatic moments; far and away the highlights, particularly the finale. Tell a story about the Troubles, it's probably going to be tragic. Tell a true story about the Troubles, it's definitely going to be tragic.
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MA very serious film, but with bits of humor and no melodrama.
User Review - 8/10 by palki gBest in Show: Julie Walters One for the future: Nuala O'Neill Stand-out scene: The ride to the IRA HQ Brainer or no-brainer: Brainer Stands up to one viewing or repeated?: Repeated DVD commentary any good?: n/a TV Notting Hill director Roger Michell made this immediately before his Richard Curtis collaboration and while it's not fantastic there's much to praise about this Belfast-set movie. Movies set on Irish soil during 'the troubles' follow a pattern that is set in stone and this is no exception, but it's Julie Walter's characterisation of a neutral mother who just wants peace for her kids that ensures that this rises above the flotsam and jetsam. This is worth watching for her performance alone, the comic touches that come when she tells her daughter to make the beds before her house is searched by British troops and makes conversation by asking the driver of a car taking her to the IRA HQ whether he is from Cork are priceless. The "plastic paddy" accusations regarding this movie I have issues with; Walters is from Irish stock and is clearly drawing on her own experiences of her mother and grandma in her performance. Walters is Bernie McPhelimy, who arrives in a new part of Belfast with her family and speaks out about the danger on the streets threatening the well-being of her kith and kin. That danger comes from both the British troops and the IRA and the outspoken housewife soon becomes used as a political pawn by both sides. As a study in humanity in the most trying of situations this is perfectly pitched, mostly thanks to the towering presence of Julie Walters whose ability to blend comedy and tragedy is peerless.
