Reviews for Agnes Browne
Set in Dublin in 1967, this extremely old-fashioned melodrama, about the struggle of a young widow to support her large family, is a throwback to the woman's picture of yesteryear and barely a notch above TV-Movie-of-the Week.
What can one say about a film whose idea of comedy is having the two women sit around discussing whether or not they've had an 'organism' or not?
A terrific movie that affirms the natural highs of true and lasting friendship.
