Angela's Ashes Set at the time immediately after the Great Depression, we enter the world of little Frank, age 6, and his tough upbringing in a desperately poor family in Ireland. The film traces his growth to a young man, and is mostly about the struggle to survive, with frequent new babies not making things any easier. Add a lazy, alcoholic father, and traditional British class and religious prejudices, and life gets very grim... 145 minutes, No persons under 10 (Language). Drama, On the Art Circuit.

The Moviesite Fan Club comments

Ian Douglas: An interesting look at poor whites on the other side of the pond. The film is good, if a little long and depressing. The frequent deaths and toilet-related scenes also spoil the enjoyment. There are a few moments of really dark humour. Nevertheless, this is powerful cinema. And that poster gets a 10/10 for impact. Shelley Garb (47): Wonderfully human story seen through the child's eyes therefore does not dwell on the adults' misery keeping an otherwise depressing subject warm and even humorous. Hopeful ending restores balance.
