In each film he makes, Day-Lewis seems to adopt a new persona.

David Stratton

RTsbs.com.auMay 14, 2013

An intelligent, provocative piece of cinema, with something quite bold to say in the Irish context.

Day-Lewis has the ability to make the will to nonviolence look positively volcanic. And Watson, with her 200-watt incandescence, makes longing look radiant.
