Angela's Ashes

...there is loads to like about Ashes; Parker mounts the story with impeccable skill, peppering the film with powerful, telling moments (...) and beautiful, rainswept images.

...a movie of great craft and wonderful images...

Parker and co-writer Laura Jones also take pains to balance each tragic element with a lighthearted one such as joyous afternoons at the cinema, comical confessions and Frank's first tentative sexual forays.

Alan Parker's adaptation is meticulous, unsentimental, beautifully acted and uses narration to evoke McCourt's distinctive voice...
