This is a very powerful movie. I for one am not against long movies so long as the extra material really brings something to the table in either story or character development. That being said, I felt that some of the movie could have been whittled down a little bit. It felt like a really good book that could have been an utterly amazing book had it gone through one more round of editing.
Still, this movie was well worth watching. Another movie of man's injustice to man. All to often related in the world due to the misplaced foci of humans to other humans who are different because of religion, race, beliefs. Well acted with great sensitivity. I watched this because Daniel Day Lewis was in the movie. I was not disappointed because as usual he plays the part to perfection.

To prepare for the role of Gerry Conlon, Day-Lewis lost over 50 pounds in weight. To gain an insight into Conlon's thoughts and feelings at the time, Day-Lewis also spent three days and nights in a jail cell. He was prevented from sleeping by a group of thugs, who would bang on the door every ten minutes with tin cups through the night, then was interrogated by three different teams of real Special Branch officers for nine hours.
He would also insist that crew members throw cold water at him and verbally abuse him. He also kept his Belfast accent on and off set. Day-Lewis has stated in an interview that he went through all this as "How could I understand how an innocent man could sign that confession and destroy his own life.
The film received very positive reviews from most critics.
In the Name of the Father
Upon its release the film proved controversial for some historical inaccuracies and for fictionalising parts of the story and Jim Sheridan was forced to defend his choices. In , Sheridan stated: The courtroom scenes featuring Gareth Peirce were also heavily criticised as clearly straying from recorded events and established British legal practices since, as a solicitor and not a barrister, she would not have been able to appear in court as shown in the film. Furthermore, Peirce did not in fact represent Giuseppe Conlon David Pallister wrote, "the myriad absurdities in the court scenes, straight out of LA Law , are inexcusable.
