Farewell to Harry Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This movie has all the hallmarks of a well-acted, well-produced indie film, but it missed its target for me somehow. I was distracted by its slight anachronistic feel; the film almost had a 1940s texture to it, but appeared to be taking place in more modern times -- it was difficult to tell. Regardless, Joe Flanigan as the writer Nick charms with a pitch-perfect performance, so for that alone, the film is worth a viewing.

This award-winning film is a sweetly nostalgic small town drama in the tradition of The Majestic. Nick (Joe Flanigan) returns to his Pacific Northwest hometown to write a novel. He finds the story of a lifetime when he forms an unexpected friendship with Harry (William Hall, Jr.). A local legend, Harry is the owner of a run-down hat factory, where he passes his days mired in the past and drowning in whiskey. Nick, who works part-time as the projectionist at the town's old fashioned movie palace, is determined to restore the factory, and offers Harry one last, precious chance at redemption .
