I rarely hear anyone ever talk about it anymore which is a shame because it's directed by Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, The Boxer, etc...) and is such a good story of self-preservation, grief, and new immgigrants (without being all preachy about it).
Paddy Considine (for the GOT nerds), Samantha Morton (won as Oscar for this) are in it along with a very good Djimon Hounsou (nominated for an Oscar for this).
This one is probably one of the best movies I've watched/re-watched in recent memory.

It's available on Disney+ if anyone's interested in watching it.

I’d never heard of this movie. Based on these recommendations, I suggested this movie for my mom who relies almost entirely on me to navigate the hellscape that is multiple streaming services nowadays to find her good shows/movies. She’s always complaining there aren’t enough movies she likes being made (not stupid rom-coms and not comic book movies).
If she hates it, I’m blaming you guys.
Might even watch it myself.
