      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The dramatic aspects of Rory O'Shea Was Here veer into mawkish, formulaic sentiment, which undercuts the characters' individuality.

      Maura O This is funny, moving yet it sends a message as well. Superb acting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/19 Full Review Audience Member Known as "Inside I'm Dancing" in the UK, a great film to enable you to look at life and love from a very different viewpoint...... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member So heart warming, it perfectly puts the world and disabilitys into content more, full of comic inputs from James McAvcoy making his life a party forgetting he has a disability. It shows the true gritty Britain and the pain that disabled people face everyday It hasn't got 1 thing bad about it Only it's so fantasticly puts our true world into perspective It's a true masterpiece of cinema, shouldn't be for been in anyway This is the first review I'm doing from the hear because this film is from them heart This ain't a film it's a madterpiece Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Moving, funny and inspiring at the same time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review nico b Funny, charming, and warm hearted story of friendship, thanks to Rory O'Shea Was Here's strong casting choices and decent direction! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Written by Jeffrey Caine ('GoldenEye', 'The Constant Gardener') and directed by Damien O'Donnell ('East is East'), this is a heart-warming, character-driven comedy-drama which teaches you how to live, and inspires you to be the best you can possibly be. The film moves you, as well as finds humour in the most unusual places, and that's what makes the movie so enjoyable. Michael is sad, dull ans shy guy in a Home-for-Disabled who has cerebral palsy and can't talk comprehensibly. Rory, the new guy with muscle dystrophy, is a complete rebel and has a way with his words and wit. Both their lives change for the best. Jsmes McAvoy and newcomer Steven Robertson are brilliant and funny in their portrayals of Rory and Michael respectively. The background score is captivating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Anna Smith Film4 A modest, relatively low-budget affair graced with strong stars and sharp dialogue. Jun 25, 2008 Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out Full marks for intent; barely a pass for execution. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Nick De Semlyen Empire Magazine O'Donnell should be lauded for offering a sensitive portrayal of disabled people without ever being patronizing. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Richard James Havis Film Journal International Director Damien O'Donnell has achieved a warm and uplifting movie which is marred only by a brief drift into melodrama in the middle. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com It would all be a lot more heartbreaking if it wasn't quite so blatant. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 21, 2006 Full Review Mary Lasse Christianity Today A technical mess. The final version looks like an unfinished cut. Rated: 1/4 Oct 2, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
