Me mom recommended this film to me a while back and it just goes ta show ya, you should always listen to your mother!
From 2002 Evelyn had a limited release in the US around the holidays. It stars Pierce Brosnan as a down on his luck father, who perhaps spends more time in the pub then he should. When his wife leaves him for a dandy the courts declare that he is unfit to care for his children and put them in orphanages. The movie tells of his fight to change the law and have his children returned to him. The film is based on the auto-biographical book Evelyn: A True Story by Evelyn Doyle and tells the story of her father, Desmond Doyle's fight with the Irish Government in the mid-1950's
Outstanding performances by the primary cast and the authentic Irish locations elevate this story and make it worth watching.
At the Movie House rating *** stars
