Review of Second Best

Second Best (1994)
9/10
Such a good story and such lovely characters
31 December 2020
I fondly watch movies like this. Did not read the book, but the movie , characters and the dialogue delivery is remarkable. Life happens, situations are weird, human life is complex and the lessons of life are in these very fine details of experiences. I understand some reviews which are not so much in favor, but it is truth for some! Breaks the stereotype that being married, having own children and taking generations forward is the only socially acceptable way of life. Truth is, there are people out there dealing with unique circumstances and singled out. This move is about a lonely man and lonely child coming together to write a father and son story of their own. And I appreciate the depiction, esp. the child actor and the psychology he adopted absolutely fantastically. And afcourse the complex, mature and growing character of the child Jimmy is just great. There is so much inside of the boy, and the artist played it really well. I like the movie , the story and the fine details displayed. It is just an awesome , authentic experience watching the movie.
