A Simple Beauty
11 April 2020
This isn't a blockbuster movie. It's an ordinary movie of 2 ordinary seniors Ed (John Lithgow) and Ronnie (Blythe Danner), going about their routine lives. Maybe the issues it raises aren't undertaken with any depth, however there's some fine acting as the relationship of Ed and Ronnie grows. Becoming more comfortable with one another, they begin to trust more and disclose their secrets, including their family stories. The bond between Ed and Ronnie is complemented by the camera work and exquisite photography. While the movie won't move mountains, there's simple beauty in the romance between Ed and Ronnie and a reassurance that love can be found at any time in life, even in a supermarket aisle.
