Review of The Boys Are Back (2009) by Meghan M — 25 Jan 2010
Spectacular. Absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful. Perfectly cast: this might be Clive Owen's best performance of his career, and Nicholas (Arty) was a rare find of the energy of a six year old and the depth coming from the pain of loss.
George (Harry) played excellently a boy with a sophisticated background carrying around half a lifetime's worth of hurt himself. Somehow, these three related men are thrown together to try to form somewhat of a family, and this film captures all the emotion, troubles, hurts and joy of such an endeavour.
Just an excellent film.
