Evelyn (2002)
Country: GER/US/EIRE
Technical: col/Panavision 95m
Director: Bruce Beresford
Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn, Julianna Margulies, Stephen Rea, John Lynch, Alan Bates
Synopsis:
In 50s Dublin a deserted father has his children taken into the care of the church because he is unemployed; despite the fact that the law is against him he decides to fight the establishment with the help of a loving barmaid and her legal friends and family.
Review:
A sentimental tale and one close to the actor's heart. While charming and humorous in equal measure it is a slight affair dramatically, most of the characters having a good-natured Irishness about them, and the finale harks back to the days of Shirley Temple in its resort to artifice.
