Review of Far More

Far More (2021)
10/10
Adrian Grenier gives us one of his most honest performances on screen!
23 September 2021
Ally Walker recut and remastering the film lends to a more honest and thought provoking personal journey for the lead character Sean McAllister played by Adrian Grenier (Entourage/Click Bait). Adrian shows us a more sensitive side to his character's internal conflicts that we haven't seen in his other films without overacting or giving us a typical gay stereotype. We understand and feel for him, his family and relatable conflicts growing up as gay man in a small town.

Sean returns home after a long absence to a dying brother played by Bailey Chase and his wife Selma Blair along with their son Joshua Rush. Selma, I think is one of the most underrated actresses out there and her performance shows why she is so natural in this role. Joshua Rush is the glue that puts the family back together while questioning life and what death really means. Sean's father played by Daniel Hugh Kelly, is gruff at times and elusive to Sean after years of separation along with Bailey who he refuses to see at first. Bailey's nurse is played by Drea de Matteo who is natural and sensitive to the families needs.

The films takes us back and forth to Sean youth and is really a more of a coming of age. It's about family, life and what it really means to put our differences aside and just love each other for who they are...
