What critics compared Bound for Glory to
Gorgeously photographed by Oscar-winner Haskell Wexler ("Bound for Glory," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," "Mate-wan") and perfectly acted by a terrific cast, "The Secret of Roan Inish" is filled with nuance and detail that tells us much about Ireland and its people, their roots and beliefs, and - of course - the great Irish tradition of oral story-telling.
It's not like critically acclaimed biopics such as "Ray," "I Walk the Line," "Bound for Glory," "Straight Outta Compton," and "Coal Miner's Daughter" had groundbreaking narratives either.
