Review of Evelyn (2002) by Annelies S — 20 Apr 2009
Thank you Blake for recommending this one to me. This touching film made me burst into tears quite a few times. I am a particular fan of Irish culture and I am raised in presence of an Irishman who was himself raised in Dublin in the early fifties at the same age as the young Evelyn. Many stories told by him and a few trips to Ireland made me love this flick - based on true events - and cry and laugh out loud.
Pierce Brosnan plays a very convincing role as a loving father desperately longing for his three children and Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea & Alan Bates make a very good supporting threesome.
If you appreciated The Magdalene Sisters you'll love this movie too!
