🎬 My Left Foot (1989) – Random Movie #39
This week, we review My Left Foot (1989), Jim Sheridan’s deeply moving biographical drama about triumph against the odds. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a powerhouse, Oscar-winning performance as Christy Brown, an Irish writer and painter born with cerebral palsy, who learns to express himself using only his left foot. With Brenda Fricker in an equally stirring role as his devoted mother, the film is an inspiring testament to resilience, creativity, and the strength of the human spirit.
🎲 Picked from Metacritic’s all-time movie list—Is My Left Foot a step toward greatness or just another awards-season darling? Listen on to find out!
