Grey Owl **** (1999, Pierce Brosnan, Annie Galipeau, Stewart Bick, Vlasta Vrana, Graham Greene, Renée Asherson, Stephanie Cole) – Classic Movie Review 1446
Pierce Brosnan is first-rate as a Native American imposter in director Richard Attenborough’s good-hearted, unfairly overlooked 1999 adventure and true story biopic. Writer William Nicholson’s screenplay makes a really good, fascinating thing out of the unusual story […]
