Featured review
Solid, well acted human drama.
Both Michael Caine(? Last film) and Glenda Jackson (her last film)give touching performances as husband and wife, in this nice, decent drama based on a true story.
I hope both Laura and I see out our days in a residential home by the seafront, like the one they live in here!!!
After a slew of hard going thriller/horrors- Nowhere, The Passenger it's nice to see something light and friendly- like a hot chocolate under the duvet on a cold wet day.
I took Mum to see this at the Curzon and she enjoyed it- seeing it at home with Dad in a fugue of cigarette smoke and heavy atmosphere would have dimmed the experience.
The general consensus of the elderly patrons at the screening was that it was a nice, moving film, well acted- I agree.
