Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Steineded How sad is this?

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SnoopyStyle Michael Connolly (Steven Robertson) suffers from cerebral palsy. He lives quietly in an assisted living home. His speech is mumbled by his handicap. One day, rebellious Rory O'Shea (James McAvoy) arrives. He suffers from muscular dystrophy and he seems to be only one who actually understands Michael. The two begin a friendship. They party and meet Siobhan (Romola Garai). Rory struggles against a panel to receive his Independent Living Allowance. Despite personal issues, Michael asks for money from his father. They hire Siobhan to be their caretaker.I love the friendship between Michael and Rory. There is a problem with Michael. He's perfectly fine but his mumble does slow down the interactions sometimes. It would have also been great to have a disabled actor play Michael. It's an added bonus that would make this stand out. Romola Garai is enchanting. The movie needs more of her and give her character more story. This is a good movie and it could be even better.

Leofwine_draca INSIDE I'M DANCING is the story of two disabled friends and their quest to escape from the miserable care home in which they reside to set up home on their own right. As a piece of poignant and heartwarming filmmaking, this is near perfect, and it also gives the viewer a real picture of what it is to be disabled in the modern world: the frustrations and the problems, but also the joy, laughter and happiness.James McAvoy and Romola Garai have since gone on to bigger things, but the real star of this film is Steven Robertson, giving an outstandingly sympathetic portrayal of a man with cerebral palsy. Astonishing that Robertson wasn't nominated for a single award for what is possibly one of the greatest and most convincing performances in film history.

carverann Maybe a little late in the day, but I have just watched 'Inside I am Dancing' it was on ITV 3 and I recorded it for when there was nothing else to watch. I have to say Excellent,So So Excellent! the tears are steaming down my face and I can not stop thinking about it.This is what a good film is! Not predictable like bloody aliens and horrors, same old same old! This was sad, real, funny, emotional, true to life, there was such an excellent sense of humour between Rory and Michael. All so cleverly done and well researched, by the end of the film you could almost understand Michael so very well portrayed. It was so refreshing to see such a true to life film so well made and well acted. I would say it is suited more for the girls than the guys, only because most guys do not show their emotions! I loved it even more as I was brought up in Ireland and so loved the accents and sense of humour also spotted a few places in Dublin I knew. Where can I see more films like this. Pure pure brilliance.

johnproche To be honest I nearly skipped over this film, thinking that I wasn't in the mood for something slow pace, overly poignant and mundane! It was really only on the off chance that I thought I should at least give it a try.Straight away with the arrival of Rory O' Shea to the screen, I was drawn into the story! The connection between the leading characters of the film was intense. And Rory's father really brings an odd vibe into the film, giving an uncanny depth to the lead characters situations and disabilities!The greatest feature of the film, however, in my eyes, was the way in which the director took the film! The total lack of subtitles for Michael Crowley's difficulties to communicate orally was a different stroke from how a normal approach to dealing with this story would have been taken! This little feature was, in my estimation set the movie apart as a truly great.That spark and the tremendous acting, collaborative spirit, the plot (often exciting in moments and infinitely far from mundane) in the movie and the strong finish all contributed to me scoring this so highly!I'm rare to give tens - because I feel its the needle in a haystack that deserves a ten. But I feel comfortable doing so in this case! Very enjoyable movie. Watch it.
