lmmmacleod The chemistry of this cast is perfect. Kudos to the casting director.I saw the film because of flipping through the channels and landing on free movies on cable. I must have watched it a half dozen times those first few days. Congratulations to the writer and director. Then I had to buy it. I still watch it. It is intense, funny and moving! I saw where Romola Garai won an award and James McAvoy was nominated. James McAvoy should have been nominated for AND won so many awards for his portrayal of Rory O'Shea. He was, to put it simply, brilliant. His performance was smooth and pointed, flawless and flawed, humorous and devastating. Do you enjoy movies where you laugh and cry? This is your film.

Hecky Arnaut Mander (pooingfish) A glorified version of cerebral palsy, I know for a fact that disabled people do not act like this, being disabled myself, and no disabled guy is a wimp, the story is pointless and dull. I also find the acting to be poor and it a shame that they could not cast anyone with cerebral palsy in a role. Personally, I think James Mcavoy would only have taken the character of Rory O'Shea in a vain attempt to clutch an Oscar, and found comfort in his poor level of acting throughout the film preventing him from achieving so. Overall, I would not recommend this film to anyone, and should you want a far more realistic, (and entertaining), story about cerebral palsy then I would advise you to watch Jim Sheridan's 'My Left Foot', which includes an Oscar-winning performance from Daniel Day-Lewis that completely outshines any of the acting in 'Inside I'm Dancing'.

carverann Maybe a little late in the day, but I have just watched 'Inside I am Dancing' it was on ITV 3 and I recorded it for when there was nothing else to watch. I have to say Excellent,So So Excellent! the tears are steaming down my face and I can not stop thinking about it.This is what a good film is! Not predictable like bloody aliens and horrors, same old same old! This was sad, real, funny, emotional, true to life, there was such an excellent sense of humour between Rory and Michael. All so cleverly done and well researched, by the end of the film you could almost understand Michael so very well portrayed. It was so refreshing to see such a true to life film so well made and well acted. I would say it is suited more for the girls than the guys, only because most guys do not show their emotions! I loved it even more as I was brought up in Ireland and so loved the accents and sense of humour also spotted a few places in Dublin I knew. Where can I see more films like this. Pure pure brilliance.

dancer-91 This movie left me amazed. and sad. and happy.It's about two men in wheelchairs, who are living their life. that's all I'm gonna say because it really doesn't more.My mom works with people with disabilities and I've seen it really close and it's amazing how this movie portrays the two main characters. I've got nothing bad to say about it. It shows that people with disabilities have feelings, desires, different moods, intelligence, sense of humor etc. They're people as much as we all are. The human in you doesn't disappear even if you can't talk like others.James McAvoy and Steven Robertson make the performances of their lives. They make the characters real and raw. Not too independent or annoying, not too helpless, but enough to make them human. They made me laugh so that my stomach was aching and they also made me cry so that I couldn't see the TV screen.I think everyone should see this movie. It shows that even when things aren't the way you would want them, you can still live your live fully. you just have to do it. live it.
