Dancing At Lughnasa is a bittersweet story about five Irish sisters. The story takes place in 1936 and is narrated by Micheal Evans, who was a young boy when the story takes place and lived with his mother, her four sisters and their older brother a retired priest, in a small cottage in County Donegal.
Once again Meryl Streep turns in another outstanding acting performance. But her co-stars Micheal Gambon, Catherine McCormack, Kathy Burke, Sophie Thompson and Brid Brennan are equally as good, if not as well known.
The film takes place over the course of one summer, during the pagan feast of Lughnasa. As autumn approaches change is in the wind and it will come time for this family to reap what it has sown over the years.
At The Movie House rating **1/2 stars
