Agnes Browne (1999)
Anjelica Huston: “Watch Me !”

Directed by Anjelica Huston

Anjelica Huston, Marion O’Dwyer

Marion Monks: We're here for a good time, not a long time. And having a friend like you is as good as it gets.

Anjelica Huston directed and starred in this endearing film about a widow struggling to support her seven children in 1960s Dublin. There’s a menacing loan shark angry about being paid back too promptly, a good friend facing a serious illness, a wayward child, a shy suitor, at least one life-long dream to fulfill, and moments of light and dark comedy along the way. Huston offers an understated and therefore believable performance as a woman tough and loving enough to weather any storm. Agnes Browne is based on the popular novel The Mammy by Irish writer Brendan O’Carroll.
