Quite possibly THE greatest performance by an actor PERIOD, worth experiencing for Daniel Day Lewis’s phenomenal Oscar Winning portrayal
One the best acting and characters you can see
Superb biographical drama with outstanding performance from Day-Lewis
If you watch this, you’ll watch the best acting performance ever given onscreen. That’s not an exaggeration.
This film doesn't go for easy sympathy. It's less an inspirational story and more about what being disabled does to a person.
Daniel Day Lewis is captivating! I can't imagine how he became a cerebral palsy man. Great actor.
A great central performance and pretty amazing story. The production is a little cheesy and distracting
Pretty good, humble movie about a remarkable, flawed man. It’s not Christy Brown’s disability but his abilities that made him remarkable.
Never hear of this painter/writer before I saw this movie but Daniel Day-Lewis did a fantastic job portraying such a complex man. Great film
Sad, yet beautifully told story about the profoundly talented artist Christy Brown. Slow, but a must watch. Day-Lewis’ acting is superb
