Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

lantern4444 This movie goes beyond expectation. The portrayal of disabled people escaping their environment to pursue a meaningful life was so well done. It shows their development of through the physical, environmental, social and emotional aspects of their lives. The main characters try to escape a mundane existence overseen by well meaning people who fail to see their potential or the extreme frustration of their situation. The movie follows not only their successes but also their failures and how they learn from their mistakes. The situations as so real and looks equally at both the disabled people and the able people in their lives. While the movie is very emotional at times it also has a lot of humour. A very enjoyable movie overall.

Sindre Kaspersen Irish screenwriter and director Damien O'Donnell's third feature film which was written by Jeffrey Caine after a story by Irish writer Christian O'Reilly, is an Ireland-France-UK co-production and was shot in Dublin and the country town Wicklow in Ireland. It tells the story about Michael Connely, a 24-year-old man with Cerebral palsy who lives at a Residential Home for the Disabled called Carrigmores nearby Dublin. Michael lives a quiet life and doesn't say much, but his life is turned upside down the day Rory O'Shea arrives at Carrigmores. Rory's rebellious attitude and quick-witted humor awakens Michael's spirit, and when Rory let's him in on a plan that could get them both a place of their own he immediately agrees. Rory's plan works out fine and they move in together in an apartment in Dublin. Michael and Rory are pleased with their new life, but their friendship is conflicted when they hire a young woman named Sioban to assist them in their new home.Subtly and engagingly directed by Irish filmmaker Damien O'Donnell, this humane and humorous tale, draws a profoundly moving portrayal of a bonding friendship between two disabled young men who tries to find a way out of an institution in order to gain a certain degree of independence. While notable for it's naturalistic milieu depictions, the fine cinematography by Irish cinematographer Peter Robertson and the great score by English musician and composer David Julyan, this empathic and incisive drama depicts two in-depth and intertwining studies of character about two young men whose only wish is to experience the things other same-aged people do and who finds themselves in an afflicting dilemma when they fall in love with the same woman. This character-driven, dialog-driven and finely paced independent film which examines poignant themes, is impelled and reinforced by the heartfelt and impressive acting performances by Scottish actor James McAvoy, Scottish actor Steven Robertson in his debut feature film role and English actress Romola Garai. A compassionately written and memorable film which gained, among other awards, the Audience Award at the 58th Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2004 and the People's Choice Award for Best Irish Film at the 2nd Irish Film and Television Awards in 2005.

carverann Maybe a little late in the day, but I have just watched 'Inside I am Dancing' it was on ITV 3 and I recorded it for when there was nothing else to watch. I have to say Excellent,So So Excellent! the tears are steaming down my face and I can not stop thinking about it.This is what a good film is! Not predictable like bloody aliens and horrors, same old same old! This was sad, real, funny, emotional, true to life, there was such an excellent sense of humour between Rory and Michael. All so cleverly done and well researched, by the end of the film you could almost understand Michael so very well portrayed. It was so refreshing to see such a true to life film so well made and well acted. I would say it is suited more for the girls than the guys, only because most guys do not show their emotions! I loved it even more as I was brought up in Ireland and so loved the accents and sense of humour also spotted a few places in Dublin I knew. Where can I see more films like this. Pure pure brilliance.

Brigid O Sullivan (wisewebwoman) James McAvoy and Steven Robertson are incredible as the leads, Rory and Michael, who form an unlikely friendship in the home to which they are assigned. Rory can understand Michael's speaking when no one else can.These are severely handicapped men, confined to wheelchairs and limited mobility.The story of their leaving the home and establishing an assisted independent living environment for themselves is the plot of the movie.Many, many subtle comedic bits, such as a road race with children. Many emotional moments - one of them falls in love and is spurned, gently but firmly. One heartbreaking scene of a father repelled by his own son and rejecting him.The role of the home's manager, Eileen, played by Brenda Fricker is too one-dimensional to give the character any depth. I hate these one-note bad guys so beloved of Hollow-wood.But hats off to all concerned for making a movie about a very difficult subject matter and enlightening so many along the way as to the real challenges of the severely disabled.8 out of 10.
