COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A movie I crave submitted by edb.blanchard on July 25, 2018, 11:48am I don't watch this movie often, but every few years I am always in the mood for it. It is the story of an Irish family that moves to New York City and must adapt and deal with pain and loss while still maintaining happiness and joy. It is an intense story, but is satisfying because it is not a story often told.
