Depressing?

I definitely wouldn't call it a depressing film. It certainly has its bleak moments, because of the setting and subject matter, but the whole story is about how Christy Brown was able to overcome huge obstacles in his life. And more importantly (in my opinion anyway) it's done without the usual Hollywood "inspirational success story" sentimentality, but with a great sense of humour (Like Brown playing soccer with his mates, acting as goalkeeper by stopping the ball with his head, classic).

Bottom line, in my opinion, it's a far from depressing film.

Of course it has sad moments, but overall it's very inspirational and the ending is uplifting. Please watch it!

I am an island. I am bloody Ibiza!

Actually it is depressing, bleak and grim throughout.

Very difficult to watch.

I didn't find it depressing, but I was drained by the time it went off

'My Left Foot' is not precisely your typical inspirational movie but is far from being depressive. The film actually ends with a happy note, not even mentioning Christy Brown's premature decease but his wedding with Mary Carr.

definitively not a depressing movie but neither the best film to cheer you up. it's kinda bittersweet, just like life itself.
