Remember PONETTE? Here’s Another Jewel of Child Acting!
While the character young actor, Anthony Borrows, plays in this movie is apparently seven years old, Borrows himself seems to be no older than five or six. That’s what–kindergarten age? As in “Ponette”, I can hardly believe that these youngsters are “acting”. I can’t “catch” them acting! They are completely believable and their hearts and minds flash in fully-translated expression across their faces.Even animals in movies show their training. These child-actors do not!
You should consider seeing this movie, if only to witness the amazing performance given by young Borrows!
Pointed, but not a real Cracker
Jimmy McGovern is never afraid of using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, but at least he’s found Stephen Frears to wrap his ranting against the Catholic church and right-wingers in a touching family drama. Small and impudent – much like it’s titular hero.
