Not since Barry Levinson's masterful "Avalon" has a film been cognizant and emotionally adept to the struggles of immigrants and family life. This is director Jim Sheridan's personal tale of an Irish family moving in to modern-day New York, seeking a new start in life, while at the same time, dealing with the heart-breaking loss of a son. Touching and heartfelt, "In America" is a joyous film celebrating life. |
