  U-WIRE.com/FILM REVIEW: Tale of loss will charm 'America'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Sarah urges him to "just act" in front of his daughters to keep up the pretenses, but it is clear that Johnny has not yet recovered from the tragedy.
Her Sarah holds this close-knit but deeply scared family together, and her pale blue eyes have the miraculous ability to contain all the hope, sadness and triumph of this young family of dreamers.
Sarah Bolger's quiet Kristy serves as both the narrator and Sheridan's double, guiding us through her world with her camera and her touching memories of her cancer-stricken brother.

 In America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family are short on money and set up in a rundown apartment building in Hell's Kitchen, known locally as the "junkies' building." Despite their impoverishment, their initial joy of being in America, and the closeness of the family, gives them the energy to make the most of what they have.
The mother, Sarah, gets a job in Heaven, a local ice-cream parlor, to support the family while Johnny, the girls' father, struggles to get work as an actor.
As money runs low and New York's temperatures soar, the family discovers that Sarah is pregnant, with a child whose birth could be fatal for her, and tensions between Johnny and Sarah begin to arise.

His wife, Sarah (Samantha Morton), has done a better job of disguising her grief for the sake of their remaining children but there are times when the facade breaks down.

 Mixed Reviews - In America - reviewed by Ned Depew   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The story is told from the point of view of the eldest daughter, Christy (Sarah Bolger) an eleven-year -old with a precocious but not precious insight into her family's damaged dynamics.
In spite of hints of ongoing discord founded in Johnny's failure to come to terms with his sense of loss and his resulting frustration at being unable to "feel" - expressed in a very effective scene with Mateo - the real depths and costs of this emotional knot are never deeply explored and resolved.
Real-life sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger, who play Christy and her younger sister Ariel, have a freshness and spontaneity only found in the best performances by child actors - and it is a credit to Sheridan's competence as a director, as well as his young performers' skills that he draws such naturalness out of them.

Sarah claims to have moved on for the sake of the girls, but much of the time she seems to be pretending.
When Sarah discovers that she's pregnant and that the pregnancy will pose a serious risk to her life, Mateo becomes her spiritual guide.
Often heavy-handed and clumsily written, the film is something of a departure for Sheridan, whose previous work has focused on families affected by the Troubles of his homeland.

As the film opens, Sarah and Johnny (Morton and Considine) drive across the Canadian border into the USA with their two precocious daughters (Sarah Bolger as the 10-year-old narrator of the story; with Emma as her sparky younger sister).
Performances are superb; the Bolger sisters are fantastic, and could easily be the progeny of Considine and Morton, who make their characters so honest that we travel this emotional journey right with them.
Sarah is a waitress who tries to hide the sins of world from her impressionable children.

 VIDEO OF THE WEEK / Emotions take lead in immigrant drama
With Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Djimon Hounsou, Sarah Bolger, Emma Bolger.
The elder child is preoccupied with capturing the family's new life on her camcorder; both girls are almost impossibly bright and well spoken.
Considine conveys Johnny's crushing emotional burden while keeping the character multidimensional, and Morton's performance proves that the critical attention (and Oscar nomination) she won in 2000 for Woody Allen's "Sweet and Lowdown" was no one-off.

The oldest daughter Christy (Sarah Bolger) is probably one of the smarter people in the film, and Sarah Bolger gives a flawless performance for such a young girl.

 In America (2003): Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Sarah Bolger - PopMatters Film Review
The "America" Sheridan represents here is both immense and limited, fantastic and nightmarish, incredible new home for Irish immigrants Johnny and Sarah (Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton, who is miraculous, again), as well as their young daughters, 10-year-old Christy and seven-year-old Ariel (played by sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger).
Though Sarah's huge eyes mirror anguish and on some days, she can barely find the strength to rouse herself from bed, the girls persist in wondering at the world around them, demonstrating repeatedly their endless capacity for love and openness.
While Mateo rants one night, Johnny and Sarah make passionate, desperate love for the first time in months, conceiving a child that endangers her health and recalls their still raw past, but also presents new life, new expectations, new memories.

It is certainly his most personal film, as well as being his most cinematic, integrating memories of the death of his younger brother, Frankie, into his own story of journeying to America with his wife and two eldest daughters, Naomi and Kirsten, who share script credit with him.
It was in America that his third daughter was born and so, in the film, the young mother, Sarah Sullivan (Samantha Morton), falls pregnant with her fourth child.
Sarah is particularly receptive to Mateo's spirituality and, despite a difficult pregnancy and premature birth, has faith in his prediction that all will work out for the best.

 In America (2003) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
But it's remarkably hard to do, as Irish émigrés Johnny and Sarah (PADDY CONSIDINE and SAMANTHA MORTON) discover when they hit the streets of modern-day Manhattan, their two spunky young daughters in tow, and emerge into a realm as comical and adventure-filled as it is strange and terrifying.
With no cash to spare, Johnny and Sarah settle into a chaotic New York tenement populated by a colorful assortment of characters – and attempt to turn a Gothic horror-movie setting into a true home.
And yet, while they see America as rife with challenges, dangers and weirdness, their daughters see it as a magical place where anything can happen, a place that might release them all from the anguish of what has come before.

Sarah has reacted by thinking only of her two remaining children, constantly pleading with Johnny to ‘pretend to be happy for the girls'.

The girls, meanwhile, live a friendless, if cheerful, existence until the meet "The Man Who Screams," aka their downstairs neighbor Mateo, a tortured artist who rages at the canvas as, it is later revealed, an outlet for the grief and frustration fueled by a terminal sickness.
When Sarah becomes pregnant again, Johnny is less joyful than despairing, and while there's little doubt that the family will be ferried across these choppy waters on the poignantly broad shoulders of its emotional center, it's unclear how Johnny will make peace with his paralyzing guilt over the death of his son.
Or maybe it's just that Sarah and Emma Bolger are so preternaturally mature in their depictions of these curious, fiercely intelligent sisters.
