While we enjoyed the movie, I don't understand why it's an Oscar contender. There was a lot of bad language, and some violence.

Great message for any generation, Still has Appeal!!

I saw this movie as a child, a few years after it was released, and I love it still today. It's a great family movie, no violence, bad language or hatred. It's very uplifting, and I think anyone would love it. It's on TCM tonight, and we'll be watching!
Even though it's set back many generations ago, I think it still has appeal today. Even when it was released in 1960, the setting was several generations earlier. and we LOVED it. Kids today, (does that make me sound old), are used to wonderful animated Disney movies. We were blessed with both.. and this was one of the BEST Disney movies EVER!! Enjoy!

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds
(2016 TV Movie)
Excellent Love Story & view of Hollywood

Watching this and seeing the true Love between Debbie & her children is heartwarming. It also gives you a slight insight into the old and new Hollywood lifestyle. Not such an easy life.
After seeing how much Carrie cared for her Mom, and worried about her declining health, I wonder if Carrie is actually the one who died of a broken heart. Those 2 were soul mates, and they left the word at almost the same time.
I thought it was so well done, and such a tribute to 2 lovely lades.
My heart goes out to Billie Lourd, who at age 24,lost her Mom & Grandmom, and Todd Fisher, who lost his Mom & his sister.
Nothing will bring them back, but this film will be such a great memory for their family now, and for generations to come.

Listen to the story, not the critics.

An interesting story of a young Irish woman, immigrating to the USA (LEGALLY) in the 1950's. She had a sponsor and a job to go to; imagine those who came over in the 1800's. My own ancestors came to the US in the 1800's, and I can't imagine what it must have been like to leave their lives behind in search of a better one. I know I'm grateful for the sacrifices my ancestors made.
The acting is well done, and you could easily see the difference between life in the USA and life in Ireland at that time. After seeing this film, I'm Proud to be an American of Irish descent!!!
This film is a vague example of the difficulties of moving to a whole new world, seeking a better life.
