  • "Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir by Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes is an alternately funny and heartbreaking look at growing up in Ireland. Born in Brooklyn, NY, young Frank (Joe Breen) moves at an early age to Limerick, Ireland, with his parents Angela (Emily Watson) and Malachy (Robert Carlyle), who have been unable to support their family in America and are hoping for better prospects in their home country. But things hardly improve once they settle in Limerick; as McCourt puts it, "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood. Worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." Illness and death are commonplace in Limerick, and Malachy's drinking and inability to hold a job make matters worse. Angela's Ashes was directed by Alan Parker, who previously looked at Irish life in The Commitments (1991); Laura Jones wrote the screenplay."@en
  • "Basada en el best seller autobiográfico de Frank McCourt. Ángela y Malachy McCourt abandonan un Nueva York sumido en la penuria económica rumbo a su Irlanda natal. Pero las cosas no les irán mejor allí a causa de la crisis tras la independencia y el alcoholismo de Malachy, que dilapida en los bares lo poco que gana. A base de subsidios y caridad Ángela se las irá arreglando para mantener a sus cuatro hijos."
  • "Widescreen. Life in impoverished depression-era Ireland holds little promise for young Frank McCourt, the oldest son in a tightly-knit family. Living by his wits, cheered by his irrepressible spirit, and sustained by his mother's fierce love, Frank embarks on an inspiring journey to overcome the poverty of his childhood and reach the land of his dreams: America."@en

  • "Dramatizes the author's childhood in Depression-era Brooklyn as the son of Irish immigrants who decide to return to worse poverty in Ireland when his infant sister dies."@en
  • "Based on Frank McCourt's novel, Angela's Ashes, is the uplifiting story of Frank who from the age of 5 takes us on the most surprising, challenging and emotional life journey. With humour and joy, little Frank looks at the energy deployed by his mother to meet ends and feed her four kids while her unemployable, alcoholic husband forgets himself down the pub. While the film portrays the difficult reality of hunger, poverty and social deprivation, it is more than ever a brilliant account of spirit triumphing over adversity. A unique celebration of human spirit, laughter and human kindness."@en
  • "Angela's Ashes tells a powerful, autobiographical story of one boys' upbringing in the 1930s. Born in Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants, Frank grew up in Limerick after his parents (Robert Carlyle and Emily Watson) returned to Ireland disillusioned with future prospects in America. Based on Frank McCourt's 1997 Pultizer Prize-winning novel of the same name, Alan Parker's film combines stories of hunger, poverty and social deprivation with laughter, kindness and the warmth of the human spirit."
