Cal Movie Review: | |
The symbolism is thrashed just a little hard at times, but on the whole it's a most impressive debut from O'Connor, strongly acted all round. -Time Out Cal tells a story that has been told many times before, but tells it quietly and powerfully about a particular time and place: Northern Ireland in the 1980s. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times Miss Mirren, through a reserve that disappears layer by layer, makes Marcella a woman of unexpected substance and generosity, one who is no more comfortable with the pain and paradoxes of Northern Ireland than Cal is himself. Janet Maslin-New York Times [A] trite, weepy, rather contrived tale -- you feel that every extra who passes in the street has a more involving, authentic story to tell. Dave Kehr-Chicago Reader Has its powerful moments. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews A taut, compelling film about the tension, distrust and senseless violence in contemporary Ireland. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice | |
