Reviews

Despite the negative reviews I really enjoyed this charming, simple and funny movie. It is pleasant relief from the terrible year that is upon us. Just enjoy it! Some things don't need to be deep, although it makes a point that humans are their own worst enemy and we need to do more and step up!

The start was slow, but I like the way it is split into chapters, like a book. Afterall he is an English professor. Johnny Depp draws you in and you see how much love he has for the people in his life and the life he finally embraces.

Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are perfect for their lonely and flawed characters. What a sweet unfolding of two complex lives that crave connection and love. It begins simply with wanting to simply sleep through the night and then we get to know all the good and the hard parts of their lives and in the end it is about talking to each other.

There is a bit of all of us in these characters.
