Faced with the daunting task of supporting seven children by herself, Irish widow Agnes Browne (Anjelica Huston) struggles to break even. In addition to selling produce at a nearby market, she borrows heavily from a local moneylender, the greedy Mr. Billy (Ray Winstone). It's a bleak reality, brightened somewhat by the support of her best friend Marion Monks (Marion O'Dwyer). Eventually, a glimmer of hope materializes when she's invited to a Tom Jones concert as the date of a smitten Frenchman.

Emanuel Levy Variety Feb 9, 2006

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. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
2.5/4
This is a modest but likable film, and Anjelica Huston plays a heroine who makes us smile. But it's skimpy material. Go to Full Review

A movie that, while sweet and sometimes funny, never quite gets underneath the viewer's skin. Go to Full Review

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? Go to Full Review
