Good concept, poorly executed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Sometimes in life you don't expect some films to change your imaginations but it's true and it can be changed. Seeing that one little problem of disabled peoples can be that kind of difficult to dealt with you can assume you're so lucky to be not disabled. Of course you know that you are crippled but not in those ways they are. Maybe our emotions and minds isn't in its right place or maybe we forget in could been happened to all of us. Anyway I'm so happy that I saw "Inside I'm Dancing" it is an exceptional movie to watch even though it's rhythm is too slow but it's working here. The music is completely synced and perfectly suited and beside some of dialogs are so difficult to understand the writing and directing is good. 10/10.

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.

To be honest I nearly skipped over this film, thinking that I wasn't in the mood for something slow pace, overly poignant and mundane! It was really only on the off chance that I thought I should at least give it a try.Straight away with the arrival of Rory O' Shea to the screen, I was drawn into the story! The connection between the leading characters of the film was intense. And Rory's father really brings an odd vibe into the film, giving an uncanny depth to the lead characters situations and disabilities!The greatest feature of the film, however, in my eyes, was the way in which the director took the film! The total lack of subtitles for Michael Crowley's difficulties to communicate orally was a different stroke from how a normal approach to dealing with this story would have been taken! This little feature was, in my estimation set the movie apart as a truly great.That spark and the tremendous acting, collaborative spirit, the plot (often exciting in moments and infinitely far from mundane) in the movie and the strong finish all contributed to me scoring this so highly!I'm rare to give tens - because I feel its the needle in a haystack that deserves a ten. But I feel comfortable doing so in this case! Very enjoyable movie. Watch it.

This movie transcends "story-telling" - a rare movie that, like a dream, elicits feeling and perception about a situation that does not immediately or personally apply to the dreamer - that are virtually impossible while conscious. Ever dream of confronting a tornado or trying to outrun a tsunami - a situation in which you've never found yourself? This is reason enough to see the movie.The story itself is touching, bittersweet and more ... I don't know what ending would have been more emotional - the actual or the other alternative. Little did I know that I would develop an embarrassing fan-crush on this actor a couple of years after I'd seen this movie: James McEvoy. I will have to see it again, and yes, I will buy it. What a range he has, and he was the shining star of the film (but then, so was his sidekick).Might as well buy it.
