The TVI Take
Jim Sheridan's 1989 Christy Brown biographical film anchored by Daniel Day-Lewis's first Best Actor Oscar as the Irish writer-painter born with cerebral palsy who could only physically control his left foot. The structural commitment to letting Day-Lewis's method-acting transformation render Christy's specific cognitive register without sentimentalizing the disability is canonical late-1980s lead-actor work.
