Enoyed very, very much. I laughed, cried, felt for the entire family. Dancing scene and MUSIC near the end was sensational!!!!! Meryl Streep was simply marvelous in this movie. I will cherish this one forever.

Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. One of Meryl Streep's best and enjoyed "meeting" the other actresses and actors, as well. I'll look for all of their work again.
I'd buy this one.

A beautiful sensitive story. It not only portrays the relationships of women in an Irish family but also how the values and morays of Irish culture dictate the lives of the Irish people.Movie Review: Good Experience

Wonderful movie - you feel that you know each of the characters. Very charming film. Meryl Streep is wonderful, as always.
Movie Review: A worthy Irish film adaptation of an exquisite Irish play: DANCING AT LUGHNASA
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the great good fortune to see Brian Friel's stage play DANCING AT LUGHNASA live in 1992.It was a phenomenal, yet bit of a downer piece of work (it was Irish after all....and we Irish don't seem to do comedy all that well!!!).
How did this moving play about five cloistered sisters in remote Donegal translate to the big screen? Actually, quite well.I have watched it several times now, and upon my most recent viewing,I,again, was struck at how the poignant Bill Whelan soundtrack and the rapturous cinematography of Kenneth McMillan actually took away from the focus of what was a very tight and seamless play.That happens in film, though, when a claustrophobic play is opened to the greater possibilities of translating to the screen.This is not that negative, though.The cinematographic shots of rural Ireland and the rapturous music are truly beautiful and the outstanding ensemble cast make DANCING AT LUGHNASA a sensually fulfilling feast if you have not seen the play.However, this is a magnificent film in its own right, and play or no play, this is a heartwarming and heart wrenching look at a tight-knit family who is faced internally and externally with pressures to cleave together.Special mention goes to Kathy Burke (Maggie) who was so magnificent as Mary Stuart in ELIZABETH, and Sophie Thompson (Rose) who is a BBC regular as well as quite a comical stage actress.Meryl Streep is the big name in the American release of this film,but in Ireland, from where the film hails, the other actresses got the Award noms.When someone wins over La Meryl, then someone has done something exquisite.
This play is often done in regional live theatre and is a must see if you love the film.Read Amazon's review for plot details.
This film, whether on DVD or VHS, is exactly the same print and ratio aspect.$11.00 vs. $1.00 gives one pause!!!!
