Title: Is America really like this?
Review: One of the best films of the year comes by way of an Irish immigrant family. They come to New York City to escape the memories of their youngest son Frankie's death. Johnny, the father and struggling actor, does his best to support his family, which includes his wife Sarah, (Samantha Morton), and two adorable girls. We learn throughout the film that Johnny has still not gotten over the death of his son, causing him to have trouble finding success doing just about anything. His girls, however, see everything in the world as magical, even the "crazed" African man who lives in the druggie-ridden tenement they are forced to live in. It is a wonderful film that is sure to bring some water to the eyes as you see the story unfold, and the power of hope acted out.
