Amy

Think of a beautiful and delicate film, perfect for those tricky days, when we want to keep our hearts warm... It touches me, it hurts my heart, I cried, aiaiai, a beautiful life lesson, even though it's a fiction, rocked by a beautiful song "So many Ways" by Julie Budd, a film that gives hope to special children, shows the strength of women /mother and mainly from education... Disney relic...

A very sweet film, one with its heart truly in the right place.

I had a fine time watching 'Amy'. There's a few very touching moments, alongside a few shocking parts too; one particularly surprised the hell out of me, the most a Disney film has so far in fact. Those come amongst the storyline which entails blind and deaf children, as well as a bit of women's empowerment in there too. They blend it together nicely.

Jenny Agutter is excellent in the titular role, I felt connected to her story whilst also getting the required sense care and charm that her character is intended to have. Otto Rechenberg, one of many deaf/blind people cast, is very good. All the main ones onscreen do a noteworthy job, in fairness.

Enjoyable and hearty. Watch it.

Back in the days of "Betamax", when we had to wait a decade or more for such Disney titles as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" or "Cinderella" to be released, Disney's home video library consisted of movies like "Amy", family movies that captivated my young mind as well as engaged parents. Jenny Agutter passionately plays the eponymous heroine who for the love of her late son, uses that love to find a purpose in Life. The cast that supports Ms. Agutter is seasoned, so there isn't any weak performances. I find the writing to be very character driven, and the script uses its characters to tell a story that no matter what ups and downs we have in Life to never stop living it in the name of loving.

Completely disagree with the comment below which seems ignorant to some individual's realities and the stigma they faced back then and still today. Highly recommend!

"Amy" is the story of a woman's crusade to teach deaf children how to communicate at the turn of the century. It's not the film the original "Miracle Worker" is, but it's effective in it's own way. Jenny Agutter is the star of the film, and she makes it work. The impact of her loss and how much it affected her is pivotal to the film, and she's wonderful in the role. I shed a few tears during my initial viewing of the movie, and while it's not a tearjerker it's subject matter is emotional. It's not available anywhere at the moment, but if you can find it, it's worth a look.
