Angela's Ashes is the autobiography of author Frank McCourt. It tells the tale of the sad and harsh times of the catholic childhood growing up in Ireland. Although there is a lot of misery and depressing scenes, the writer has been able to make light of some situations as it told through the eyes of a child. Angela’s Ashes is a heart rendering and heart warming film all at the same time. I really enjoyed this film however I would of preferred it to go on just a bit longer as i did not think it ended at the right point.
