A Disappointing Continuation

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This movie goes beyond expectation. The portrayal of disabled people escaping their environment to pursue a meaningful life was so well done. It shows their development of through the physical, environmental, social and emotional aspects of their lives. The main characters try to escape a mundane existence overseen by well meaning people who fail to see their potential or the extreme frustration of their situation. The movie follows not only their successes but also their failures and how they learn from their mistakes. The situations as so real and looks equally at both the disabled people and the able people in their lives. While the movie is very emotional at times it also has a lot of humour. A very enjoyable movie overall.

INSIDE I'M DANCING is the story of two disabled friends and their quest to escape from the miserable care home in which they reside to set up home on their own right. As a piece of poignant and heartwarming filmmaking, this is near perfect, and it also gives the viewer a real picture of what it is to be disabled in the modern world: the frustrations and the problems, but also the joy, laughter and happiness.James McAvoy and Romola Garai have since gone on to bigger things, but the real star of this film is Steven Robertson, giving an outstandingly sympathetic portrayal of a man with cerebral palsy. Astonishing that Robertson wasn't nominated for a single award for what is possibly one of the greatest and most convincing performances in film history.

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'.

This is a moving picture, in the sense of the audience being moved by the film. I got it from NetFlix without knowing much about it, and was blown away. Steven Robertson and James McAvoy as Michael and Rory turn in performances which can only be called exquisite. and Romola Garai, of whom I'd never even heard, is lovely and empathetic as the men's chosen caregiver. All characters were beautifully written, and the training Robertson and McAvoy went through in order to make their portrayals true was obviously quite comprehensive. The two main characters endure physical and emotional challenges which most of us can only imagine. As my wife said at the end, "See the problems we don't have?" This film should make everyone who sees it grateful to be able to stand up and talk. I'm not reviewing the story because others have already done that. I'm just here to say that watching this movie is a touching, and often quite funny, film experience.
