Late Bloomers

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!!!

This film is emotional, funny, sad, and layered. The main plot is about a woman who is ann emotional wreck due to a breakup. But as the film develops you learn there is much more to her. Her life has been touched by heartache that goes deeper than just a simple breakup. You are brought into her life and the feelings she has because of her past. The sub plot is her relationship with an elderly woman who brings silent emotion to the story. The elderly woman misses her past and learns to move into her future from the main character. Each character plays a critical role in bringing every emotion into each scene. If you speak a bit of Polish than the subtle jokes become more of an inside joke you have with the Polish characters, but don't worry, if you don't, you are filled in at the end.

This movie hit home hard in a beautiful, sad and funny way. .... So thank you very much for this film! I loved it. If you're dealing with someone with Alzheimer, take a box of tissues and watch this movie. It's like a little present, we are not alone. Help each other out to share the 'burden' . That's what this movie teaches us, and so many other things. I'm not 28 years anymore but could really relate to Louise.

All the actors did a tremendous job. The only thing was the character Max, it wasn't clear to me where he lives but he was very nice.

Too bad we have to write 600 words, cause I've said everything I want to say.

10 out of 10 for me.

Watched this with an open mind and really enjoyed it. The bond between the awkward young Karen Gillian and the older Polish woman was beautifully done-a good take away is that they didn't need to fully understand each other to connect.

Their dynamic felt authentic, with plenty of learning moments and self-awareness throughout. The film explores loneliness (especially with the elderly), change, and unexpected friendships in a way that feels both touching and relatable. You never really know how much of an impact your can make with someone who is unlike you. A quiet but meaningful story that stays with you.

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.
