VHS Movie Reviews of My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown
Movie Review: My Left foot Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellant feature about a person that overcame a severe handicap trying to lead a normal life. Outstanding acting by Day-Lewis and the actor that played Christy Brown's younger years.Movie Review: educational review
Summary: 3 Stars
As a high-school teacher for English foundations, I try my best to expose my students to the literature their peers in regular English classes receive. I must utilize movies as a visual aide supplement to help them connect with the characters, setting, dialogue... I strongly recommend using this dvd to support your curriculum to teach on all levels of student learning (auditory, kinesthetic, visual).
On a personal note for this actual movie, it was at times a bit boring and my students nodded off a few times.
Movie Review: good, but..
Summary: 4 Stars
Phenomenal performance by Daniel Day Lewis. The film felt kind of short though.. The main flaw would have to be the cheap quality of the transfer. The image and colours are horrible. Such a shame this looks like a vhs.Movie Review: My Left Foot
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen this on TV, but I didn't give this five stars as I haven't watched the dvd yet and don't know if the dvd is of good quality. The movie, however, is excellent and deserves five plus stars. Daniel Day Lewis gives an awesome performance, as always. Very moving film.Movie Review: My left Foot

Excellent
More people should see this DVD
Cerebral Palsy is a cruel disability. There are so many who assume Cerebral Palsy is associated with an intellectual delay. How wrong they are
Thank God we saw Cristy Brown show the world that people with Cerebral Palsy have feelings like anyone else. We think life is hard, well we need to "so call" walk in their shoes and give them the respect they need and not patronize them like so many do.
I wish the schools added this DVD to their Program , hopefully we would have young people respect everyone with a disability as well as us as we grow old.
Summary of My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown
Daniel Day-Lewis won a much-deserved Oscar for his wily, passionate performance as Irish artist and writer Christy Brown, whose cerebral palsy kept him confined to a wheelchair. Filmmaker Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) adapts Brown's own autobiography for this spirited piece, focusing on the sometimes-difficult fellow's formative years in his large family and in love with sundry women. Day-Lewis is inspired, and Brenda Fricker (also a recipient of an Oscar for her part in this movie) is almost luminous as Christy's dedicated mother. So, too, are Ray McAnally as the hero's stormy father, and Hugh O'Conor (The Young Poisoner's Handbook) as the child Christy. All in all, this is a complete pleasure for viewers. --Tom KeoghDrama Video
