Some Mother's Son
(1996)
Starring: Helen Mirren, Fionnula Flanagan, Aidan Gillen
Director: Terry George
Certificate: 
A phenomenal film. At last daring to tell a side to a story which has deliberately been kept from us all. Its about time people got both sides of the story and this tels it albeit rather simply but what could you expect if it will have been screened over in the country which was responsible for the troubles in Ireland in the first place. A poignant story which draws on real life events to make its very long awaited point. A truly brave attempt at redressing the balance of accounts. I notice that its not yet up for sale on DVD in this country-hardly surprising from a biased nation. If you love history, Irish history and deplore censorship-view it now. I will rent again, about time I could buy it.
