Dancing at Lughnasa -- Wistful tale set in 1936 rural Ireland where five impoverished, unmarried sisters (led by schoolmarm Meryl Streep) are visited by their sickly priest brother (Michael Gambon) back from 25 years in Africa, and the youngest sister's wandering lover whose 8-year-old son the sisters are jointly raising. Director Pat O'Connor beautifully bittersweet movie captures the sisters' indelible bond of love despite crushing emotional and financial hardships. An unmarried relationship and a rude expression. (A-III) (PG) 1998
