Past Run
The Boys are Back
The joys and sorrows of single fatherhood as experienced by a suddenly widowed sportswriter (Clive Owen). Scott Hicks (Shine) directs from a memoir by Simon Carr; with Emma Booth and Laura Fraser.
“Never does anything feel forced or contrived. Life, as this memoir reminds, can offer plenty of drama that need not abide by fictional formulas or genre conventions.” (Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter)
“The pain of divorce and the tragedy of a parent's death supply the raw emotional materials of The Boys Are Back, making it all the more impressive that director Scott Hicks steers clear of the maudlin and the manipulative.” (Justin Chang, Variety)
““Never does anything feel forced or contrived. Life, as this memoir reminds, can offer plenty of drama that need not abide by fictional formulas or genre conventions.””
