'My Left Foot' is the remarkable story of Christy Brown, born into a working-class Irish family with cerebral palsy. Reviewed by jafar-iqbal 10 / 10 It's the Daniel Day-Lewis show!! It is worth every second, just for the indomitable spirit it portrays. This is another one of those films I had heard about for many years. I felt I was in the room with Christy Brown. I forgot I was viewing actors and forgot about it being a movie. She is not blind and realizes what a difficult road there is, but she is there always.

To have been considered retarded and somewhat worthless. ![]() One can only imagine weighing this great burden the body has placed on this man and for him to also have faced the taunting of his peers and his family. The two actors that portray Brown, Daniel Day-Lewis and his young counterpart, bring him to life with incredible believability. This is about recreating a personality and it is done with painful realism. This film is about a man who overcame incredible odds and produced some incredibly impressive work. ![]() Reviewed by Hitchcoc 10 / 10 Astonishing Performance! ![]()
