5/5 Great Irish Movie - very touching and rewarding
  by Jeff (Nibley, Utah United States)
I really enjoyed this movie, even though I am not Irish nor have I ever been over there, but I believe the story is universal and tons of people can relate with the mistakes of youth and the harshness of tradition and social pressures of the time in a rural community. Elisabeth Dermot Walsh is a great new talent and you cannot help but take her side and cheer for her as she makes a new life for herself in this poignant love vs marriage story.

5/5 It took me back to Ireland
  by Eileen Walker (Columbia, MD USA)
I had just returned from a two week vacation in the south and west of Ireland when I watched this movie and I was not disappointed. I have seen many movies set in Ireland over the years and Falling for a Dancer is the best one ever. I found all the acting to be superb and the story very believable. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys anything Irish.

4/5 nostalgia
  by Patricia A. Dallaire
I grew up in the age of this movie when, becoming pregnant at such a young school girl age was not acceptable.The story as I recall was very true to life for, anyone could identify with this troubled girl. Today it wouldn't be a big deal for a young girl to be pregnant and abandoned. Years ago, that was not the case.
Although, this movie is dark and very brogish { it takes place in the hills of Ireland} I thoroughly enjoyed each and every part. No famous stars except {Colin Farrel} but it doesn't matter, the story is that compelling.

5/5 A Pleasant Surprise
  by Glenda Antonia Koreiba (Franklin, TN)


I had first seen "Falling for a Dancer" as a BBC miniseries on Romance channel.

i fell in love with the story...and the times..(my father was in WWII...... I had no idea who any of the stars were , had never heard of Colin Farrell.., but I was captured from the beginning.

I determined to own this movie, as my sisters and friends were.

It is a beautiful story of hard times and perseverance.
