A tug-at-your-heartstrings weepie from the sledgehammer school of filmmaking.
12/14/01
An Irish drama that's a lot more sly and a lot less straightforward than it appears on the surface.
12/14/01
Powerful indictment of the lengths human beings will go to to be right.
11/30/01
It's like a PBS version of a movie of the week about child abduction, complete with histrionic, spit-flecked speechifying in quaint Irish brogues.
09/21/01
A cautionary tale of the mischief that can happen when men no longer see their neighbors as human.
09/21/01
The gripping A Love Divided will leave you taking sides, whether or not that was the film's intent.
09/07/01
A solid, balanced period piece that focuses on a specific place and time yet resonates with universal themes.
06/22/01
Sydney Macartney, whose previous directing experience had been mostly in television, deals freshly with situations that also could have been cliches.
06/21/01
Both overly familiar in its themes and uncomfortably close to melodrama.

Top Critic Personal views aside, this small, well-crafted Irish production achieves importance by saying what it intends to say with both strength and conviction.
06/01/01
Fine performances ... help keep it from seeming excessively schematic.
06/01/01
A disquieting study of how irresponsible demagoguery can ignite an ideological wildfire that consumes an entire community.
06/01/01
Top Critic A 'thesis' film that will offend Catholics and stimulate considerable post-movie discussion.
