Movie Reviews of Rory O'Shea Was Here
Movie Review: A Gem--Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really, really enjoyed this movie! It includes a great cast, terrific acting, and wonderful storyline about two young, wheelchair-bound men, coping with their disabilities and trying to live life as "normal" people do. It's a universal and emotionally provoking film--a story about love and friendship. It's funny, engaging, and thoroughly entertaining. By the end of the movie, I was sad to see the credits roll; I ended up caring about the two main characters! If you're looking for a nice comedy-drama, then I highly recommend watching this film.
Note: I wasn't familiar with James McAvoy's work, (he plays Rory O'Shea), but remembered seeing him in the widely acclaimed WWII epic television drama, "Band of Brothers." What a talented young actor! Scottish, too!! Never would have guessed, because he has such a great American accent. Looking forward to seeing more of his films.
Movie Review: Emotional ,Exciting, Inspiring and Convincing
Summary: 5 Stars
Character Rory O'Shea is a work of art, clever, mischievous and very funny.
a true individual, and a hero on wheels..but a nightmare for the uptight,rigid institutional staff. Letting them know his true opinion of them with his actions more than his words. The scenes between Rory and staff are hysterical !
The compassion this young guy has for fellow lock-up Michael is very touching, although Rory does use Michael to his own advantage,it's definitely a great bond between them.
Performances of James McAvoy and Steven Robertson is masterful. Played so thoughtfully and naturally.
A glimmer in Steven's eyes binds him well to the character he portrays so powerfully.
Lastly the story itself is a great one. It proves that anyone with any kind of limitations should still be allowed all liberties. Amen.
Movie Review: Subtle, emote, giving food for thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw the front picture of the DVD I thought "Drama and hedgehog-haired McAvoy in sunglasses?"
Luckily I did watch it, and had my front-picture-opinion turned 180 degrees opposite. Loved it, and put in the row of my "Golden Collection".
Wouldn't notice the 104 minutes past.
Astonished by the Rory's struggle to live as if it is his last day, tough enough to keep his interior Rory well hidden, yet open enough to convince the audience about his ongoing drama, completely excluding the pity.
Yet another proof of simple things being genius.
Highly recommend.
Movie Review: Rory O'Shea is Sarcastically Uplifting
Summary: 5 Stars
"Rory O'Shea Was Here" was a movie I didn't know I anything about prior to viewing it. Now that I have seen it I am so glad that I stumbled upon it. The sarcastic and larger-than-life Rory is one of those characters you never think you'll like until you realize you already do and you can't figure out how it happened. James McAvoy is one of those actors who really knows how to melt into a character to the point when you forget he's acting and this movie is a perfect example. I can't remember the last time I laughed and cried and yelled at a movie so much. You have to see this movie!!!Movie Review: Old Enough to Know Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm feckin 40 - I should have known better!
The acting was unreal - then I had the most embarressing moment of my life 2 days later
I am a fan of "Shameless" (uk tv series) I watched every week
I didn't realise it was the same actor that played steve in shameless
Honestly, thats how good it was, It' will leave you in floods of laughter & tears
Another Irish film thats great "this is gonna be great" is Adam & Paul
Love & Respect
