Mr. Morgan's Last Love

This movie is so emotional and from the very beginning,I was carried away with the sympathy and very doleful atmosphere throughout the movie. Michael Cain did a wonderful job here. He was able to maintain his character till the end. The soulful music is just right to the theme which it made the setting more captivating.The other cast were wonderful as well. After watching this movie, it makes me more reluctant to visit Paris in the near future.This is one of the great movies I have ever seen in my life. I wish there is an English version of the book where the movie was taken from.

This is a must to see movie.

After Sandra Nettelbecks movie Mostly Martha I had high hopes for this one and was not disappointed. In contrast to Mostly Martha, the film is more Drama than Comedy. This movie is about a dysfunctional family with a father/grandfather being estranged from his children. This is something almost every family can relate to. The movie develops slowly, revealing the family secrets one by one. At the end we will feel sympathy with every member of the family because we understand their positions but we are far from knowing how to solve their problems. The solution or kind of a solution that will leave most of us happy is also revealed slowly. This is a slow movie with very good acting. Michael Caine is excellent. The only thing that bothered me a little was the music.

While this is a bit lighter in tone than the Oscar winner Amour, it seems to try to go for some of the same feelings and touches. Michael Caine is impeccable in his role, so is Michelle Godet, who has a weird role to play. It is walking a fine line, not really declaring what the relationship is between those two characters and this might be one of the best things that happen.

Through a bit of lost in Translation in and you have a very fine movie. It's weirdness might either attract you more to it or appall you a bit. Whatever the case you can't fault it's story, about lost love and maybe even lost hope. Family is a big part of life and it is here too. A bit of Song of Marion is in here too. So good ingredients, not perfect but very good movie still

Michael Caine is getting old. Playing an old man, acting or real? He is at his best. Gone is his dry humor and whit, gone is also his regular British accent (apart from a few strongly emotional scenes when he suddenly looses the American accent he is supposed to have).

This is a very odd movie, difficult to put into any frame. The acting is nothing else but superb, not a single moment without complete realism.

Watch this move alone or with your significant other, do not forget the paper napkins, because this is very emotional. My eyes are still wet, this is a movie that will remain in my mind for a long time.

Matthew (Michael Caine) is a widower in Paris... has lived there for years, but has never learned the language. Disgraceful. Now he must start to get out and about and meet the people. He keeps bumping into dance instructor Pauline (Clémence Poésy). They seem to hit it off on some level, and they spend time together, at least for the time being. Matthew keeps trying to knock himself off, but we're not sure why. His son Miles ( Justin Kirk) and daughter (Gillian Anderson !!) show up, and they aren't sure what to make of Dad's friendship with Pauline. Family dynamics. Miles thinks he knows what's best for Dad and butts heads with both Matthew and Pauline. Lots of family conflict. Good stuff. Directed by Sandra Nettelbeck, who has written and directed several projects. Story by Françoise Dorner, une actress/directeur françoise. Moves kind of slow and bleak, for the last part of the story, but it is what it is. Interesting study of family relationships. Showing on netflix. No car chases, no gunfights. Michael Caine is good stuff.
