Review of In America (2003) by Daniel G — 28 Jun 2008
I really don't even know where to begin. The film is amazing from beginning to end, and EVERY performance is remarkable. The daughters are great, the father is great, Djimon Hounsou is stellar and in my opinion, Samantha Morton can do no wrong.
The story is sad, but everything about it had me wanting them to survive and just live their lives. After a tragedy in Ireland, a man, his wife, and their two daughters move to New York City in hopes of starting their lives over.
The father tries to pursue his acting career while the mother gets a job in a diner across from their apartment building. Some of the film is shot through the lens of the eldest daughter's video camera; she narrates the film as well.
We feel the pain this family has endured and we stay with them as they discover how to live and love In America.
