Saint Ralph

Saint Ralph (2005) starring Adam Butcher, Campbell Scott, Jennifer Tilly. Fourteen-year-old Catholic-school student Ralph Walker (Butcher) convinces himself that the only way to save his comatose mother is to win the Boston Marathon. Set in 1953-54 in Canada, this movie tells the story of how young Walker, through his own belief in himself, acquires a coach (Scott) and wins the sympathies of the nurse (Tilly) who tends his mother. The script is splendid throughout. The subtitles are good. Grade: A-
