Crowe is back, better than ever?

As a young actor in 1994, Russell Crowe proved he was unafraid to tackle gutsy roles when he portrayed a sexually active gay man who lives with his overly approving heterosexual dad. In the Australian indie "The Sum of Us," based on a popular stage play, "Crowe projects such robust self-confidence that the father-son scenes work better than they ought to," observed the New York Times, which called him subtle, but "magnetic in dramatizing some of the wishful insights that shape the writing."
