The Toronto International Film Festival

 Wayward Son

Starring: Harry Connick, Jr., Pete Postlethwaite, Patricia Clarkson, Vinessa Shaw. Directed by Randall Harris.

Sheila: Great acting from a wonderful cast who shone on screen. Harry Connick, Jr. shone off screen at the screening too.

The story line was intense and kept my interest from start to finish. A young man wrongfully imprisoned in the 1920s/30's is released, only to find that most people are keen to keep him down. He does find hope in a father and
daughter who he helps bring together to create a feeling that there is hope for humanity in society.

Catch it at the movies if it comes your way.

Trixie: This was a real feel-good type movie. The story was very sweet and had a strong message of  morality, integrity, and doing the right thing. First-time director Randall Harris did a wonderful job with drawing the characters out of the actors in a natural way. Harry Connick, Jr.  played the part of Jesse with a natural patience that showcases his flair for not just acting - but breathing life into his character.
