"Rory O'Shea Was Here"
2005
Directed by Damien O'Donnell

A smart and sensitively wrought film about friendship and disability, this comedic drama from Ireland stars Steven Robertson as Michael Connolly, a twenty-something with cerebral palsy. When Rory O'Shea, a wheelchair-bound man with muscular dystrophy (James McAvoy) moves into where Michael is living, the two strike up a fast friendship. With the help of a pretty aid (Romola Garai), Rory shows Michael that there's a lot more to life than he once thought. "The kind of inspirational movie that actually earns its crowd-rousing response" (Hollywood Reporter).  105 minutes.
