Drama
Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink.

I liked that the narrator when he was talking about his past life events went from mostly depressing, to a short dose of comedy and too end with relieving. I thought the picture and autobiography tale was great with a strong cast and definitely worth the time and watch. By far the best work I've seen from (Alan Parker) so far of what I've watched.
