Rated PG-13. 88 minutes. At the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax.
This appears to be the month for grown-up movies that take a chance on treating sentiment seriously. Next week the sibling drama “People Like Us,” starring Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks, opens.
Today at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax, director Chris Eyre’s quiet, mournful, worthy drama “Hide Away” opens.
Josh Lucas stars as the Young Mariner , a businessman who arrives on a dock, buys a boat and begins rehabbing it in an effort to recover from a loss. James Cromwell portrays the Ancient Mariner and Ayelet Zurer the waitress who watch as Lucas’ character fights his demons and rebuilds his life.
The characters monikers would seem to rob them of embodied lives. Yet this drama, which played in November as part of the Starz Denver Film Festival, invites viewers into a tactile, emotion-laden world of beauty, loss, recovery.
