The Boys are Back – M
Dir: Scott Hicks / 2009 / 104 min
From the acclaimed director of SHINE, Scott Hicks, and inspired by a true story, THE BOYS ARE BACK is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, which intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, sportswriter (Oscar nominee Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood.
