A good movie

Honestly, since it is such an obscure flick, I had no idea what to expect but since I always had a weak spot for William Hurt, I was quite eager to check it out. Indeed, in the 80's, William Hurt was one of the most successful and respected actors and almost all his movies were critically heralded and most of them were actually nominated for the best movie Academy award. Then, in the 90's, after making a few dubious choices, he wasn't anymore on the A list but it does not mean that all this movies were actually worthless. This feature is actually a fine example. Like I said before, this flick is actually completely unknown (I was only the 3rd listal member who rated it) and the story is nothing really great to be honest but thanks mostly to Hurt's very good perfomance, it was actually pretty good and I thought it was a solid drama. Indeed, the relationship displayed between this man and this boy was quite convincing and very interesting to behold. To conclude, even though it is no materpiece whatsoever, I actually liked it and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
