Going Back (1984)
6/10
Wistful indie drama
3 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
GOING BACK is a very low budget indie romance that's of interest for featuring Bruce Campbell in one of the leading roles. It's a stepping stone for the EVIL DEAD star, marking his progress as a leading man, and he brings a lot of his natural charisma to the role, although not much of the goofiness evident in his Sam Raimi flicks. The story itself is a wistful slice of nostalgia that follows the fortune of a couple of students as they spend a summer at a farmhouse and learn life lessons along the way. Where it all comes together is during the climax, which takes place after a break of four years, and is full of longing and regret. It's surprisingly deep for such a cheaply-made film.
