Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Day-Lewis, so intricately repressed in The Age of Innocence, here offers a role reversal in an unreserved and emotional performance that throws caution and inhibition to the winds.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
28 Feb 2014
fresh:
The picture turns into a kind of stylized morality play about the right and the wrong ways for Irishmen to respond to distorted portraits of their character, and it's terrifically effective.
– Terrence Rafferty,
New Yorker,
28 Feb 2014
fresh:
At every point, Day-Lewis is at the center of the story, and he carries the film with an impassioned performance. It helps that it's a great part.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
28 Feb 2014
fresh:
In the Name of the Father is a model of this kind of engaged, enraged filmmaking, a politically charged Fugitive that uses one of the most celebrated cases of recent British history to steamroller an audience with the power of rousing, polemical cinema.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
28 Feb 2014
fresh:
Daniel Day-Lewis is remarkable.
