![]() ![]() I called Far More simple and unobtrusive at the beginning of this review. A brief oasis is found in the midst of a family tragedy with is all too short lived for all concerned. When his Father's bowling teammate is injured, the family name and tournament prize are at stake, which gives Sean a chance to connect with his nephew, reconcile with his Father and for a brief window, to be the son his Dad always envisaged. Sean very much observes these conflicts from afar as he prepares himself for his brothers imminent demise. The wife and the nurse disagree over how his brother should be treated - live a little longer but be drugged up the eyeballs on the time, or less drugs, more pain, but live more compos mentis in the moment. Old friends return to share good times, but find themselves unable to offer any real comfort or deal with the death facing their former teammate. ![]() Circling around his dying brothers bedside are various friends and family members who come into conflict with one another. Sean's Nephew Eli (Joshua Rush) is always pestering his Grandpa to ask 'Why did Uncle Sean leave.' while trying to understand the moods and actions of the adults around him, as well as dealing with some issues of his own. These include his overbearing and unsympathetic Father, Dick, whose primary focus is to win the local bowling tournament (The always excellent Daniel Hugh Kelly) and a bully from his old High School days, whose son is following in his footsteps. Far More is a simple, unobtrusive family drama which tells the story of successful gay fashion designer Sean McAllister (The often critically underrated Adrian Grenier) who travels back his rural hometown to visit his terminally ill brother Tim (Drew Powell) which forces him to re-live and come to terms with old conflicts from his past. I will endeavour to make this review of more use, to those unfamiliar with this film or it's previous incarnation. ![]()
