Review of Second Best

Second Best (1994)
10/10
Speaks to the heart of the male experience.

Warning: Spoilers
The story theme rings true and shows the way. The world is still not a "kid friendly" place. It takes a very special adult and effort for a damaged child to re-bond with an adult. The single act that made it possible for James to finally re-connect was Graham taking in James' father. James needed that closure.

I think one of William Hurt's best efforts. And Chris Cleary Miles gave a riveting performance. It's a shame he didn't do anything else.

Simon Boswel's haunting theme and score was an added plus.

I wish they'd make the movie available in the DVD format and re-release the sound track.
