Critic Reviews of "In The Name Of The Father"
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 28, 2014In the Name of the Father is a model of this kind of engaged, enraged filmmaking, a politically charged Fugitive that uses one of the most celebrated cases of recent British history to steamroller an audience with the power of rousing, polemical cinema.
Seattle TimesFebruary 28, 2014At every point, Day-Lewis is at the center of the story, and he carries the film with an impassioned performance. It helps that it's a great part.
New YorkerFebruary 28, 2014The picture turns into a kind of stylized morality play about the right and the wrong ways for Irishmen to respond to distorted portraits of their character, and it's terrifically effective.
Philadelphia InquirerFebruary 28, 2014Day-Lewis, so intricately repressed in The Age of Innocence, here offers a role reversal in an unreserved and emotional performance that throws caution and inhibition to the winds.
Orlando SentinelFebruary 28, 2014The complicated relationship between the rebellious Gerry and the quietly tormented Giuseppe is one focus of the film. The obvious political implications of the dreadful situation are another.
South Florida Sun-SentinelFebruary 28, 2014In the Name of the Father is a deeply stirring film that lessens the moral authority of the I.R.A., English soldiers in Ireland, the British police and the British government.
People MagazineFebruary 28, 2014If Sheridan didn't feel the need to pile on the pedantic subtexts, this would be an absorbing personal drama, rather than a vituperative, question-begging broadside.
Radio TimesFebruary 28, 2014This is a stirring and exceptionally well acted, though controversial, dramatisation of Gerry Conlon's book about the grave miscarriage of justice suffered by the Guildford Four.
Christian Science MonitorFebruary 28, 2014Day-Lewis outdoes his acclaimed performance in My Left Foot, making Gerry a character of palpable realness and complexity.
EmanuelLevy.ComMarch 25, 2009In this powerful, Oscar-nominated movie, Jim Sheridan infuses a fact-based social injustice drama with a more intimate family tale of estranged father and son, splendidly played by Daniel Day-Lewis and Peter Postlethwaite.
TV GuideMarch 11, 2008Sheridan takes a controversial subject and gives it wider appeal by focusing on the family drama of two men who are also political prisoners.
