      Rebecca D I thought it was riveting and thought provoking. The characters are believable and engaging. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Nessie P I watched this on Amazon Prime. Riveting and terrible at the same time. The Catholic Church has much to answer for. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review sean g A difficult story made well, all the cast are amazing actors , and a great telling of a great teacher, just like "sister act".Good Irish movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Between 2.5 and 3. Falls too much in topics, but it is not badly developed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Song for a Raggy Boy is another touching, moving and inspiring story about a teacher who makes a breaktrough with heartbreaking and emotional drama. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent story, slightly let down by exaggerated, cliched characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Movies If this had been fictional, I probably would have been harsher on the story, but since it's a true story, what would have been a weakness can be perceived as a strength Rated: 3/4 May 2, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
