In the Name of the Father (1993)
Movie
Released
Daniel Day-Lewis makes Gerry Conlon's defiance inseparable from insecurity, especially opposite Pete Postlethwaite's more contained father. Emma Thompson's determined lawyer enters a story already shaped by damaged trust. The performances give the legal fight emotional weight beyond its destination. It is based on the Guildford Four miscarriage of justice but compresses and reshapes events for drama.
