(60) In America

Directed by Jim Sheridan
Rated PG-13
2002
105 minutes

**** 1/2

How a film whose plot centers around a family that moves from Ireland to a rundown apartment complex in New York after the death of their son manages to be one of the most uplifting films I've ever seen is something I will never understand. Fantastic performances from the whole cast (particularly Djimon Hounsou's Oscar-nominated part) in a film that recalls the simple joys in growing up.
