Critic Reviews for Michael Inside
All Critics (14) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (0)
Frank Berry's Irish prison film Michael Inside... is a stripped back and unrelenting take on the sub-genre focusing on the long-term effects of incarceration and drug involvement on Ireland's youth
It's cautionary and terrifying with a tough fatalistic ending.
Good research must have helped Berry attain his 20/20 peripheral vision. No minutia or refraction-of-a-minutia seems false.
It's a prison film and a social-realist picture of the Loachian school: fierce, unsentimental, engrossing.
Stunningly acted, never didactic and yet provoking endless important questions, Michael Inside is a searing portrait of a damaged system, and the boys we lose to it.
Berry has a clear vision of our social problems; his film opens the doors of our prison system and draws the viewer inside.
