Reviews for Agnes Browne
What can one say about a film whose idea of comedy is having the two women sit around discussing whether or not they've had an 'organism' or not?
Huston's skill at evoking public conduct naturally and easily--she lived part of her childhood in Dublin--makes Agnes Browne succeed.
Set in Dublin in 1967, this extremely old-fashioned melodrama, about the struggle of a young widow to support her large family, is a throwback to the woman's picture of yesteryear and barely a notch above TV-Movie-of-the Week.
