Agnes Browne Movie Synopsis
Set in 1967 Dublin, Agnes Browne (Huston) and her seven children, ages 2-14, are sent into emotional
turmoil and financial problems soon after the death of her husband. Agnes struggles to make ends
meet, and eventually winds up selling fruits and vegetables at her Market Street stall. But this
is not enough, and she is forced to borrowing money from a loan shark (Winstone) who isn't
interested in special deals for widows or orphans.
Sharing an earthly laugh with her best friend Marion (O'Dwyer), making sure her children get the best
education possible, and dreaming of someday seeing Tom Jones in concert, Agnes blazes through
the days. A French baker (Chevrier) takes an interest in Agnes and joins forces with her children
to see that Agnes gets her wish.
Based on Brendan O'Carroll's novel The Mammy.
I loved it. I was laughing and crying. Someone got women right with that one. Wanted to hug my best friend.
