Evelyn

Evelyn is one of the most underrated and unsung films of the decade. Technically as a piece of filmmaking it's by no means groundbreaking. But that's not important. This is a truly inspirational and heartwarming underdog story. Personally I think Pierce Brosnan gives the performance of his career. And both Frank Kelly & Alan Bates are worthy mentions too. Metaphorically it feels like a story about good vs evil. And with a huge amount of heart, love and determination, good is triumphant.

Nice, entertaining little movie about Irish law. Good cast

A feel-good movie for kids who had a parent abandon them, but as for the filmmaking aspect, it's just kind of bland.

This movie about famous court case in Irland. Its awful how local government and church separate children's from their family or parent(s). Film's plot is predictable.

really good movie 10 out of 10

In terms of technical prowess, Evelyn isn't that impressive, and the direction and screenplay are pretty by-the-numbers. But there's a sweet, lovely story here, and the cast generally deliver it convincingly.
