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

There is an uncomfortable tone of exceptionalism throughout and as the film progresses it's obvious that this is an intentional choice, they want you to think of Christy Brown as a roguish genius with a disability that he overcome more so than a roguish genius who happened to be disabled. This kind of tone in later films became a genre unto itself, one that is much maligned as it simultaneously infantilizes and exploits disabled people. Ah sorry i said i wasn't going to talk about this.
The plot, being a biopic is quite thin but can be boiled down to Christy trying to find love and being unsuccessful as people see him only as his condition until a nurse looks passed his physical issues and finds a charmingly devilish individual underneath. Honestly this is a garbage take because you don't need to look passed a disability to love someone, actually it's very unhelpful and usually ends up with an unhealthy power dynamic and i'm doing it again i am so sorry.
The films awright innit, got some good acting, a nice musics, but the rampant ableism ruins it.
It's an alright film, Day-Lewis plays a teenager despite being 32.
It's very good.
D.D.Lewis is very good.
But what a lot of reviewers seem to fail to mention is that the young actor, Hugh O'Connor, who plays Kristy brown as a boy, is every bit as riveting a performance as his grown up counter part. And without his marvellous contribution, DDLewis wouldn't have had the platform to leap into the second half of the film. It most definately would have been a lop sided affair. So hats (and socks) off to the casting director.
Some of the editing jars a little, but there's no getting away from the power and the intensity not only of DDLewis's central performance, but the ensemble as a whole. What i probably enjoyed most about DDLewis's performance was how sparingly he played the part. Portraying a character that had to fight for everything he achieved. Creating a hardened exterior in order, not only to survive the day to day poverty and physical barriers he had to endure and overcome, but also, to guard his poet's sensibility. A Fragile yet fearless man. Tormented by the body's restrictions and frustrated by his artist's need to express the love he wanted to give, and the love he most desperately sought to recieve.
It is a film that was made on a shoestring budget, £600,000 and went to video in this country, within about a fortnight after its release.........and subsequently made about $15,000,000.upon its release in the U.S And won numerous awards globally.
The rest is history.
