"Nora" tells of the life of renown Irish author James Joyce (1882-1941) who penned such notable literature as "Finnegan's Wake" and "Ulysses". Not the usual biopic, this period film peers into the peculiar if not aberrant symbiosis of Joyce's (McGergor) relationship with common-law wife Nora (Lynch). With a herky-jerky linear flow and scenes not unlike a string of sausage links, "Nora" skips over much of Joyce's life which, by cinematic standards, wasn't all that interesting anyway making for a lukewarm albeit well crafted film. Recommended for those with an interest in Joyce and McGregor or Lynch fans.
