This is an excellent film, with a well-written script and fine performances, particularly by Rachel Levin and Norma Aleandro. The comments that are placed at the front page for this film are incorrect factually on one point: My Left Foot was released two years after this film, not concurrently. For what it's worth, I have Cerebral Palsy. Both Levin and Day-Lewis deliver stunning work in their respective roles, but my view is that MLF is a slightly better film and both are magnificent and worth seeing. Anyone interested in either should by all means watch King Gimp as well, a documentary on Dan Keplinger, an artist with Cerebral Palsy. This film, and the other two, are most highly recommended.
