Movie Reviews of Waking Ned Devine
Movie Review: Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
This film excels in so many diverse ways. A charming irish tale, it is a very carefully crafted film, that excels in cinematography, editing , writing, performances, plot line and dialogue, soundtrack and music. It is neither heavy handed nor schmaltzy. I 'll spare you the plot summary since others have done that. What is so amazing is that it is a first for its director, obviously a labor of love. Every scene, every shot has a purpose and often a hidden meaning. It is a film to enjoy time and again, ought to be owned, not rented. Makes me laugh and cry every time I see it.Movie Review: Celebrate life!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Waking of Ned Devine is a celebration of life as seen through the eyes of friends in a small Irish town off the coast of Ireland. The twists and turns of the plot will have you convulsing at times as the
small town comes to terms with their good fortune and loss simultaneously.
As the story races to it's conclusion, the frantic music of the fiddler
parallels the "fortunes" of the town grinch. An extraordinary slice of
Irish life and humor magically captivating us willing participants. You'll
cheer at the end of this masterpiece!!!
Movie Review: It's a Sleeper but it won't make You Sleepy
Summary: 5 Stars
If hope you see this without knowing ANYthing about the movie except what I write here. Because I won't tell you anything about it. YOU are fortunate, more so than I, because you haven't seen this yet.This is a sleeper movie, one that is far better than the public generally knows.
Be ready to enjoy a symphony of acting. If you don't like foreign films (I didn't) this may very well be the first you enjoy (and then see Run Lola Run, one that is 100% different from this but another foreign movie for people who don't think they like foreign movies).
Movie Review: Waking Ned Devine
Summary: 5 Stars
Very enjoyable movie. Was reluctant at first to take the time to watch, but very happy I did. No vulgar language, no nudity (well, almost!), no violence, no car chases, and no anti-American theme. Just a movie with lovable characters, beautiful backdrop scenery, easy on the ear Irish/English conversational language, lots of laughs, and a surprise ending. What's not to like? Oh, and the movie has a great final scene song, The Parting Glass. First movie I have purchased in quantity and given as a gift to friends and family.Movie Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those rare films that I'm keeping to watch again, and you'd never know it from the back cover or, in particular, the movie trailer. I watched that after the movie, fortunately.
The writing is spot-on, the acting is first rate, the characters feel every bit as real as anyone you'd ever hope to meet in Ireland, and the Isle of Man contributes some incredible scenery. The movie is sharp, funny, perceptive, and an absolutely engrossing experience. It simply can't be improved upon.
