Late Bloomers

A sweet movie with solid performances from all the cast. If your idea of a good time involves stunts and superheroes then this may not be for you.

It's just a quiet slice of life type of movie. Probably appreciated more by women. I found the Alzheimer's storyline very moving. At its heart it is a story of mothers and daughters.

I must have liked it a lot because I went to the trouble of logging in to IMDb for only the second time in ten years and what a blooming palaver that was.

What more can I say. Give it a go. If you don't like it after twenty minutes then turn it off. I liked it a lot.

A very sweet little movie about life and the little things that matter, it just an enjoyable and chill experience and that's always great in movies, it makes you revaluate your life, you need to change your life and do better ok, its for your own good ok, dont get mad i i know its hard to accept it.

The story and relationships beetwen the two female leads is a great one, if made me remember of those old movies about mom and daughter, we don't have movies like that anymore, a shame it's overall a good little enjoyable movie to watch with your family and love ones or maybe alone if that's your things.

Louise (Karen Gillan) is a 28 year old mess. She breaks her hip while trying to sneak into her ex-boyfriend's apartment. Her hospital roommate Antonina (Malgorzata Zajaczkowska) is a cranky old lady who speaks only Polish. She ends up in physical therapy with a bunch of old ladies and befriends former enemy Antonina.

Antonina is a little too mean at the start. I'm not sure where she crossed the line. It would be more compelling if she turned up a Polish song instead of English TV. Gillan is doing a terrific job as usual. She's endearing with Antonina. What I love most is her trouble dealing with her mother.

In an age where personal responsibility and accountability have become increasingly hard to come by, it's comforting to know that it's never too late to grow up, as evidenced in director Lisa Steen's debut feature outing. This touching yet insightful comedy-drama tells the story of Louise (Karen Gillan), a 28-year-old Brooklynite seriously in need of getting her act together. When the would-be musician breaks her hip while in a drunken stupor, she undergoes surgery to repair the damaged joint, but, while recovering in the hospital, she's assigned to a semi-private room with a cantankerous old woman who only speaks Polish, Antonina (Margaret Sophie Stein). Language considerations aside, they get off to a rough start on a variety of fronts. But, before long, Louise comes to understand and appreciate Antonina's simmering frustration with essentially being treated as though she's invisible and ends up, quite surprisingly, becoming her caretaker after being released from the hospital. And, through this unlikely relationship, Louise starts to take her own life more seriously, leaving her irresponsibility behind and finally living up to her obligations, most notably reconnecting with her mother, Dorothy (Talia Balsam), who's in the late stages of early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Based on this picture, it's certainly heartening to see that it's possible for those in need of getting their lives in order can still do so, even with some slip-ups along the way. "Late Bloomers" serves up a charming mix of laughs (many of them unexpected in nature) that are well integrated with its share of tender, sensitive moments, all brought to life by the excellent performances of the two leads and a host of colorful supporting players. There are a few points where the narrative meanders a bit, but these are more than made up for by everything that the filmmaker, cast and crew get right. Based on what I've seen here, I'm anxious to see what this director comes up with next, as this effort represents an auspicious start to what I hope and believe will be a promising filmmaking career.

This movie kills and everybody is fantastic in their rolls. I immediately want to see a follow-up cause this is my life. Malgorzata Zajaczkowska, when she hits the dance floor in her red dress and that song hits, it sinks me, that chance to just feel free even for a moment, so very inspiring. Such good choices of music, everyone did amazing and I hope to see these actors in their future endeavors, I love this movie. Karen is such a great actor for this gen, smart, funny and damn real. Happy to see movies like this I can relate to. Someday my superpowers will manifest but in the meantime, I really enjoy movies that both point out my stuffs, yet inspire me to be greater and find the happiness within simple circles. Happy!!!
