Movie Reviews of The McCourts of New York
Movie Review: A Warm, Tender Visual Valentine From Conor McCourt On His Father's & Uncles' Successful Adjustment To Living in America
Summary: 5 Stars
Documentary filmmaker Conor McCourt's "The McCourts of New York" is a warm, tender visual ode to his father Malachy, and his uncles Frank, Michael and Alphie. It is replete with tales both bittersweet and humorous - often both - of the brothers McCourt's survival in New York City during the 1950s and 1960s. As such, it will be seen by some as an affecting tribute to one immigrant family's hard-won success here in the United States (Though those who are documentary film purists may find some aspects of the film's production worthy of criticism, and thus, in their eyes, rendering it as a visual document that's less compelling than, for example, any of Ric and Ken Burns' films or those from the likes of Liz Garbus and Michael Moore.). Included in this delightful cinematic valentine are some clips from the original production of "A Couple of Blaguards" performed by Frank and Malachy at the Village Gate (Written around the time I was a student in Frank's class, the original version of this two-man play was held at a performing venue associated with noted New York City folk musician Gil Robbins, whose son, Tim, is among our high school's most famous acting alumni.). Without quesiton, this DVD will be a desirable acquisition sought by McCourties - diehard fans of Frank's and Malachy's prose - and one that will be a most essential part of their collections.
