GENRE MAINSTREAM



Family drama is one of those genres that are almost but extinct in these modern Hollywood times, since it has been completely overwhelmed with the heavy drama style of narrating real life stories. And it wasn't always like that.

Jake Gyllenhaal gets one of his first major opportunities on the big screen with a every kid's dream of flying to outer space from a God forsaken small mining town story called „October sky”. There will be no surprises here, since the script follows all the well known cornerstones of similar long features, the mistrust and judgement of the boys fellow citizens, the awe of the authorities when faced upon their achievements and the dream come true outcome at the end.

„October sky” won't disappoint you, but it won't enthuse you either.
