The Boys Are Back

Indie/Drama
4.5 stars
Loved it. Clive Owen stars as a widower trying to raise a six year old son while both are mourning the loss of the central woman in their lives. Add to the mix Owen’s troubled 14 year old son from his first marriage who still has abandonment issues. Yes, there are some tear jerker parts. And there are a few laughs too. There is also gorgeous Australian scenery as Owen plays an English expat living in Australia as a sports writer. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a couple of award nominations for this movie. Loved it.
