It was a good film for sure. Simple and touching story. Easy to watch and very heartwarming. It also tries to avoid as many cliches as possible which was a nice refreshing surprise, as the story was nothing extraordinarily new. Robert Redford was very good and this performance is possibly his best of the past years. Really beautiful performance and a very natural and appealing character. Jane Fonda had the more challenging role and mastered it wonderfully. She had a lot of different facets that were captured in her performances. A lot of secrets are involved in that character and she handled that excellently. Matthias Schoenaerts was also memorable. The film however did have some little lengths. Also some characters like the one of Judy Greer or Phyllis Somerville appear and in the next second disappear again without any significant to the story. It is always nice to see Bruce Dern but also he was rather wasted. The score was fitting the mood of the film but a bit overused. The direction was very calm and concentrated on the two lead protagonists but sometimes failed to give the story some drive. Still very worth to see on a rainy sunday.
Nominations for:
Best Actress in a Leading Role: Jane Fonda
Rating: 7/10

Eh, the performances of Redford and Fonda made me really want to like it, but it just felt like someone said "Just put those two together and let them act old for a real 'they don't make em like this anymore!' vibe and we're done here." It tried to come off so sincere that it had the total opposite effect on me.
I'd have much preferred an entire movie of Bruce Dern just sitting at that table and gossiping.

Haha well I'd definitely watch that Dern film. |
