Rory O'Shea Was Here
Inside I'm Dancing
(2004) R
Although he has muscular dystrophy, Rory O'Shea (James McAvoy) refuses to surrender to the desperation of his life and instead embraces the potential in every day. When he moves into the Carrigmore Home for the Disabled and befriends the deeply bored Michael (Steven Robertson), a young man with cerebral palsy, Rory infuses his pal's life with renewed hope even as he struggles with his own demons.




Movie #26 "Rory O'Shea Was Here", a no holds barred look at what life is like in a wheelchair. Locked in a Dublin home, one lonely cerebral palsy patient whom no one can understand (except Rory) makes fast friends with Rory, who only can move 1 finger and his mouth & through his snide comments convinces his friend they can strike it out on their own. Bravo!
