Bring On the Light

You Might Expect From The man who made "My Left Foot" and "In the Name of the Father" that a movie called "In America" would be something epic, gritty, grounded in historical struggle. In fact, Jim Sheridan's wondrous new movie, which he wrote with his daughters Naomi and Kirsten, is none of these things. It's a lyrical, intimately personal account of an immigrant Irish family newly arrived in contemporary New York, loosely based on his own experience. But the movie's slight, anecdotal structure is deceptive; you wouldn't guess how big an emotional wallop it packs.
