Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: "R" is not about justice or redemption. You couldn't even call it a protest film about prison conditions, but it is very well made and persuasively acted.
Fresh: The helmers employ claustrophobic closeups to mirror the experience of an inmate arriving at the harsh institution and finding his options limited by more than just locked doors.
Fresh: Directors-screenwriters Lindholm and Noer are careful not to let the audience know more than their protagonist does, keeping them in the nerve-wrecking state of uncertainty and fear.
Fresh: Who knows better about prison life than someone who has experienced it firsthand?
Customer Reviews
Irish Tour '74
I've been listening to this album for about the last 35 years. To see the actual film footage is a revelation. The world will not see the likes of Rory Gallagher again. Do yourself a favor and watch it again and again.
