    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Originally written to take place in 1982 when E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) first came out, but budget cuts obligated it to be set in 2002 when it was made. Coincidentally, the 20th anniversary edition of E.T. played in many cinemas in 2002, so that plot point didn't have to be changed.
    • Goofs
      The early scenes, when the family first arrive in New York, are set in summertime, yet they drive through Midtown at night past people dressed in winter clothing, a Christmas-season Target billboard, and the Radio City Music Hall Christmas tree.
    • Quotes

      Johnny: Are you okay little girl?

      Christy: Don't "little girl" me. I've been carrying this family on my back for over a year, ever since Frankie died. He was my brother too. It's not my fault that he's dead. It's not my fault that I'm still alive.

      Johnny: Ah, Christy.

      Christy: Mom was always crying because he was her son. But he was my brother too. I cried too... when no one was looking. I talked to him every night.

      Ariel: She did, Dad.

      Christy: I talked to him every night, until...

      Johnny: ...until when?

      Christy: Until I realized I was talking to myself.

    Simply the finest film I've seen this year. What a thrilling experience.
    As a film director I attend many screenings. As a film lover I have been going to films all my life since I was a "kid" in the Bronx. This film, "In America" is one for the ages. Not one false note or as we say in the "biz"--not one hiccup. Jim Sheridan has been a extraordinary film-maker since "My Left Foot"--but this film is simply beyond words!
