Amazon.co.uk Review
Daniel Day-Lewis won a much-deserved Oscar for My Left Foot, with a wily and passionate performance as Irish artist and writer Christy Brown, whose cerebral palsy kept him confined to a wheelchair. Filmmaker Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) adapts Brown's own autobiography for this spirited piece, focusing on the, sometimes difficult, fellow's formative years in his large family and in love with sundry women. Day-Lewis is inspired, and Brenda Fricker (also a recipient of an Oscar for her part in this movie) is almost luminous as Christy's dedicated mother. So, too, are Ray McAnally as the hero's stormy father, and Hugh O'Conor (The Young Poisoner's Handbook) as the child Christy. All in all, this is a complete pleasure for viewers. --Tom Keogh , Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Daniel Day Lewis in cracking form., 27 Mar 2004
True stories, or films based on true stories are rarely the stuff of Oscars. Allto often they get bypassed by production money, for the lack of stunts and hyper realities; thus if made tend to be b-movies, or acted by a cast of supermodels who lack credability. To find such a moving story about Christy Brown, who overcomes his cerebal palsy,is a little gem, watch this if only for Daniel Day Lewis's amazing performance, which is on a par with John Mills's transformation.

5.0 out of 5 stars MY LEFT GOOD (Sorry), 17 Sep 2004
Daniel Day Lewis is one of the greatest actors ever! and this proves it. He is also supported with a stellar cast who never look out of depth. Copled with a story so up lifting and heart warming you will laugh, cry and maybe feel better about yourself (I did). when I bought this I had not seen the film for about 10 years but it never lost it's magic. Just buy it then you can leave a review next to me, telling every one else how great this film is.

3.0 out of 5 stars magnificent movie, poor dvd, 20 Feb 2004
The film is a must see for anyone interested in how people get along with a handicap, even not as severe as the one Christy Brown had. It's a bright film with lots of humour, joy, football and even a heist (I admit, of a coal truck, but it's a heist). Day-Lewis, who hestitated to do the job, is simply overwhelmingly real.

Drawback is that this film of an international quality is put on a dvd with no subtitles at all. I guess Granada television wants their products to be cheap.
