The TVI Take
Jim Sheridan's 1993 film about the Guildford Four, Daniel Day-Lewis as Gerry Conlon, wrongfully imprisoned for 15 years for an IRA bombing he didn't commit. The structural commitment to letting British-Irish political-violence cultural specificity and miscarriage-of-justice institutional cognitive material be the actual subject is canonical 1990s political-drama register.
Pete Postlethwaite's father performance is the supporting-actor anchor.
