Amazon.com:
From the day he picked her up on a Dublin street, James Joyce (Ewan McGregor) was passionately in love with Nora Barnacle (Susan Lynch). Her sexual forwardness excited him, then rapidly fed into his compulsive jealousy. Nora follows these famous literary lovers as they flee Dublin for Italy, hoping to find freedom from claustrophobic Irish city life. Joyce's erratic emotions continue to make life difficult, but they find some happiness and have two children. Then, when Joyce returns to Dublin to open a movie theater, the lies of his former friends send him into a jealous fury--which is finally resolved by an erotic correspondence treasured by scholars and fans of Joyce's novels. Nora depicts all sides of Joyce and Nora, not shying away from the writer's difficult personality or from the often torrid language of their letters. A well-rounded biographical film. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Movie at a Great Price!
This is a great movie that i got at a wonderful price, so happy to add this movie to my collection!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - GREAT FILM
I loved this movie, watching Susan Lynch was a joy. She has such a haunting face you never get tired of looking at her! All of the acting in this movie was really good, I gave it only 4 stars because the sound on this DVD was not that good, I could not hear it very well and even tho I turned it all the way up, it never got any louder. But I thought it portrayed Nora and James very well and if you want to know more about the relationship between these two people watch NORA, I highly recommend it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - An Enjoyable Romantic Film
Nora is about the woman and often inspiration in James Joyce's life. Ewan McGregor plays James Joyce and Susan Lynch plays Nora Barnacle. While the movie is titled after her it basically begins and ends with Joyce after a brief reflection of her being beaten by her Uncle and sent off to a nunnery after sneaking out with a local boy in Galway. The real story begins in 1904 when she moves away to work at a hotel as a servant. Here she meets Joyce who is instantly taken with her. On their first outing ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Strong Characters; Well-Portrayed; Facsinating Tale
I agree that one's appreciation of this film does depend on what is known of James Joyce's life and literary accomplishments. But providing that foundation was never the intent of the filmmakers to begin with. The film assumes one has a familiarity with James Joyce's work. To someone just watching it b/c of a teenage-type idol worship of Ewan McGregor, it would be like watching 'Shakespeare in Love' without having heard of 'Romeo and Juliet.

But even without a background knowledge of ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Only watched it for Ewan
When I rented Nora from the video store, I was pleasantly suprised to find the first film I'd ever seen about James Joyce. If you like literature- such books as The Unbearable Lightness of Being, you would adore James Joyce's work. Nora, like the movie version of T.U.L.O.B lost some literary beauty (as all books-turned-movies do), but not so much that I lost total interest. I give it an A minus!
