Moving. Brilliantly crafted. Great on every level.

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2004)

Jim Sheridan has created something special with this movie. The true story of a Father and Son who are wrongly accused and imprisoned, is both intense and moving on several levels. Doomed to spend the rest of they're life in prison, a strong relationship develops between them.
"In the name of the Father" starts of in the early seventies. It manages to recreate the period in great detail. The photography, music, set-decoration and the editing is top of the line. But what makes this film amazing are the performances of Lewis, Postlethwaite and Thompson. The chemistry between them is incredible, and as a viewer you are taken on a journey trough every emotion possible.
A must for every living person.9/10
