Review of Michael Collins (1996) by Compi24 — 01 Apr 2018

Neil Jordan's "Michael Collins" may not be an entirely honest portrayal of the events and happenings surrounding the reign of Ireland's seminal freedom fighter, but it is a damn fine film, crafted by the dramatically savvy hands of a gifted storyteller, as well as a fascinating study of the unfortunate unsustainability of revolution-era politics.

Liam Neeson's turn here as the titular character is one that is so clearly driven by passion and care - it's one of the best performances of his multi-textured career. And the cinematography is also extremely well tailored and tinted.

Definitely an enlightening, entertaining, and challenging film overall.
