I loved this movie. Frailty, vulnerability, but a fierce resiliency.
This man just wants the world to make sense, just once more, after a life-shattering loss. Attending D-Day celebrations became a mission, and no matter the weakness, the PTSD, the man-made obstacles... he gets back.
If I were 20 years younger I maybe would have thought this film hideously emotional... overdone... but when you are older you start to see the world a certain way. You feel things differently. You know what it means to do things one last time, to say goodbye one final time... that's a reality none of us can escape.
And it's from that perspective that I give this move 9/10.
