Although know for writing such family literary classics as The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Kim, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Captains Courageous, it is his own family that proves the focus of this beautifully-crafted film about author Rudyard Kipling's (Daniel Haig) search for his lost son, Jack (Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe). Guilt may be a force, as the devoted and strict father ignores the boy's myopia, adamantly insisting on his going to fight the Germans during World War I. After Kipling uses his influence to land him a commission, Jack goes on to become an excellent soldier and a respected leader. But when Jack goes missing during the Battle of Loos, it leads his family on a tireless search to find him. Kim Cattrall side-steps her well-known, recent siren portrayals to deliver a wonderful, warm portrait of a mother in pain, struggling to keep a British stiff upper-lip. Do not miss this unforgettably gripping drama. Special features include, deleted scenes, interviews, audio commentary and more.
