 Presence February 18, 2008
Where did they get a film like this from. It is truly magic. Forget James McAvoy as being the stand out. Steven Robertson gives a performance that in my opinion deserves a BAFTA. I have never seen this actor before. I was rivited by his performacne. Top film.

After I crashed my car, my girlfriend thought she would put this on and make me laugh. It did but then I cried for a very long time throughout(the shock from the crash may also have affected me) . I thought the two performances by the central characters were very convincing and it had a good mix of humour, sadness and an interesting enough plot to keep you immersed in the film. Whether it represents factually what goes in real life, is not an issue; that's what documentaries are for. This is superb cinema and an unusual tale in today's mediocrity. If you want to watch something a little different, then get this and enjoy. It should make you appreciate life in the same way that 'My Left Foot' does. Or maybe that was the car crash affecting ma heid.
A great little film, fresh, funny and perceptive. May 22, 2007

Inside I'm Dancing is the story of two young men with disabilities, who meet in a nursing home. One, isolated by a speech impairment, has been rejected by his family, because he is not perfect, and has been institutionalised. The other has Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and has fought to retain his independence despite his progressive disability.
The two men become somewhat unlikely friends and together decide they want to try and secure supported independent living, in the teeth of opposition from almost everyone around them.
If I say that the film is about their anger and frustration, their fears and dreams, then, despite the fact that it would all be true, it would make the film sound more than a little "worthy", which it isn't.
It is lively, warm, funny and honest. None of the characters are entirely likeable, and are all the more real for that.
I have to admit to feeling uncomfortable initially about the fact that non-disabled actors were cast; it did feel odd to me, given that there are so many good disabled actors crying out for work, but I can't fault the central performances, which were insightful and rounded pieces of acting.
Definitely worth a view.

Yeah it's great if you're ignorant about disabilities, it will open your eyes and hopefully wipe away some of that prejudice that you conjured up from not finding out the truth in the first place. It's very much a "just because he's disabled it doesn't mean..." kind of story, and when i say story well there's not really much of a story to it. I found this film insulting my intelligence. I have to disagree with those who found it heartwarming. It critisised the support given to disabled persons, however it showed these people to be very rude towards those giving the support - this in my opinion does not warrant kindness in return so I did not warm to either of the main characters. It does have some convincing acting, the disabilities seem real and you do get a good taste for what it is like to be disabled. Overall however, I found it rather poor.
Great film February 19, 2006

I showed this film to a group of disaffected teenagers and they loved it. Should be required watching for anyone who thinks having speech difficulties makes you less intelligent or that disabled people deserve nothing more than to sit and watch tv (you know who you are). The patronising social work team were just right and both the actors who played the disabled main parts were excellent. I'm going to buy it today - and I've already seen it several times.
