A fabulous, realistic tale of what love can do to empower a person who has many things against him since birth. One of my favorite movies of all time.

"My Left Foot", is a fantastic movie full of great performances and natural story development. Coming into this film was easy since I adore Daniel Day Lewis's performances in film, but I came to discover that each role played in this film was done very well. I became highly invested in the story and although it is a quiet film at first, I understood it's progression and was fully satisfied with it's conclusion. So to sum it all up, "My Left Foot" is a must watch film, and definitely one for your library!

Outstanding movie and an outstanding performance from Daniel Day Lewis. The supporting cast is spot on and right there with him. This movie has a lot of heart. Don't miss it.
