This is a quiet, thoughtful, beautifully understated film about the difference between living and existing, and how sometimes what we think we want is not what makes us happy.
Strong acting all round but Bill Nighy is magnificent in this role. Completely believable and deserving of every award possible.
Perfectly evokes post war London, the polite restraint and social mores of the time. I think there is a Christmas vibe about this film although the film itself has nothing at all to do with Christmas. I just think it would fit in perfectly with the mood of that season. It's poignant but ultimately feel-good as all the best Christmas films are.
I can't fault it. It's a perfect 10.
