Watch Very Annie Mary For Free

Masterful Movie

Absolutely brilliant

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's not often I find myself totally engaged in a movie and actually enjoying the free flow of tears at the climax. That kind of movie where you relax into your own skin and feel the protagonist's pain, frustration, desire and blends of various emotions as though those feelings were your own. Very Annie Mary was able to do all of the above and I believe I slept with the story continuing on in my dreams, a strong sign that the characters have become part of my own flow of blood and immersed in the cilia of my lungs. I have to admit, I often love a dorky character, someone who is not quite comfortable in their own skin. It resonates with my inner dorky child, that little soul who was chosen last for sports teams and sought refuge in the sick-bay during kick-ball sessions. I also love a wounded soul who shows strength despite adversity and Annie Mary retains her unique character which even a narcissistic Pavarotti-impersonating father and his snobby girlfriend fail to smother. The relationship between Annie Mary and her terminally ill friend Bethany (the daughter of the fish and chip shop owners) is real and engaging. Bethan has the time and space to observe the community objectively and encourages Annie Mary to unveil her long hidden talent of singing and to pursue her dreams. The small community and its members are heart-warming and also true, showing how easily people can turn on those they think have done wrong or who haven't met their stringent expectations and how difficult it is to break free of the role you were placed in due to circumstances. Rachel Griffiths plays Annie-Mary to perfection and Jonathon Pryce is terrific as her father. Highly recommended by me, sit back on your couch with some good wine and nibbles and embrace your inner nerd. Love it!

Annie Mary has a decidedly fraught relationship with her widowed father who puts her down at every opportunity and never ceases to remind her how inferior she is to her mother who died when Annie Mary was 15 and on the brink of a career in opera.At that time the poor girl put aside her chance of fame and fortune to concentrate on helping her father run his bakery business in a small Welsh village.Bullied,downtrodden,with little sense of self - worth,she seems destined for a life of perpetual misery until her father is struck down by a stroke.................... "Very Annie Mary" sounds like a movie that could have sunk in its own morass of self - pity but in fact it celebrates all the small (and not so small) victories that make human life so memorably uncertain,unpredictable and gloriously serendipitous for most of us. The people are not the mealy -mouthed BBC Mafia Welsh but the wonderfully verbose vibrant types celebrated by Dylan Thomas,people from whose mouths the words come tumbling out unchecked,they celebrate life rather than endure it,exactly the opposite to the characters in so many British turn - of - the - century comedy/dramas that are far better known. Briliiantly played by a cast that looks and sounds exactly right,"Very Annie Mary" is a movie that will both concern and enchant you. It's about living,sweating,swearing,loving,hating,lying and truthing human beings,infuriating,depressing and funny - just like you and me. This is what life is really like - increase your appetite for it by watching this uplifting movie.

Very Annie Mary is a film that focuses on the character of the same name that lives in a small welsh village. She is the archetypal "a bit slow" character with her father (an excellent turn from Johnathan Pryce) being the village big shot, a popular baker and the most celebrated tenor in Wales. Annie Mary's friend is dying and the whole village is taking part in charitable events to get her to Disneyland. If you like the sound of this already, then this film should appeal to you. There's a fine amount of comedy and tragedy as this character struggles to cope with the obstacles thrown her way and get what she wants. Personally, I found it lacking something that I'd got from other similar films and I found the main character just a little too far to handle. However the film got a couple of genuine laughs out of me and was worth watching for Jonathan Pryce's performance alone.

I'm not just saying it was excellent because my dad Darren Dobbs was in it its because it was a great film i really enjoyed watching it and IOWN was in it and he is one of my favourite actors he has been in loads of films i love Hornblower titanic and very Annie Mary!!
