My Left Foot: The Story Of Chris Brown

There are very few features that are known for its stand-out performance that has touched thousands of heart and this is one of them. The writing is compelling; even though of familiar structure that follows up the same rudimentary process that a usual biography does, but is still adaptive and exhilarating, especially when created a dramatic sequences that is not only poetic but rhymes too, to the tone of it which shows the passion and enthusiasm of the makers on telling the story. It may be short on technical aspects like sound department and editing, but surprisingly it barely factors in, as the audience finds itself in the awe of the performance, for the most of the time. Jim Sheridan; the screenwriter and director, is in his A game and brings out the best possible outcome in each and every frame of it. As mentioned earlier, there is no flinching on the excellence and hard work of Daniel Day Lewis's acting skills and his love towards the craft of it. My Left Foot: The Story Of Chris Brown is a writhing response to an imperishable question, not asked by the strangers residing in the society but the loved ones who too are any human than us.… Expand

This is an eye-opening bio of an amazing artist, cruelly entrapped by the outcome of nature's genetic dice, break past any bars placed on him in early life and flourished into an astonishing intellect with a knack to paint, write, critique,This is an eye-opening bio of an amazing artist, cruelly entrapped by the outcome of nature's genetic dice, break past any bars placed on him in early life and flourished into an astonishing intellect with a knack to paint, write, critique, and delve into deep conversation. 
Praise aside, the film makes sure to deliver the appropriate amount of lows that have hit this man's life, giving us a-plenty to sympathize with and empathize with what any of us could have accomplished if given the same circumstances as him. How did he go about doing all this? The film's title is a clear giveaway.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I read the book before watching the movie. Surprisingly well translated to a moving picture. Daniel Day Lewis is great, as allways. Rest of the cast are parhaps far too in the shadow.
Gives a good mood and few laughs too.… Expand
