Hampstead: Nunca é tarde para amar

This is very different from most films, not sure I would call it a comedy, but no foul language, interesting characters from the irish chap living on the heath to the leading (American) living in luxury she cant afford across from the Heath. Most enjoyable, very different and highly recommended. Brendan Gleeson is a joy to watch

I had serious doubts about Hempstead but with Keaton, Gleason, and a relatively short run time, I thought I'd give it a try. There are some predictable and sappy moments throughout but, in the end it's an easy, and pleasant film. It's based on a true story. Check it out for something light and breezy.

I watched this under the mistaken impression it was Woody Allen's 'Match Point' and was called 'Wimbledon'; a misapprehension compounded by the presence of Diane Keaton.

Very much an American's eye view of Blighty, teaming with caricature Brits and with the usual fluttering music score. But Keaton has outgrown those mannerisms that made her work post 'Annie Hall' such a trial, and her performance and that of Brendan Gleason keep you interested until it comes to a satisfactory conclusion.

A nonsensical little film, but pleasant and enjoyable. A little out of touch with real social housing problems maybe. It has the Jane Austen theme of destitution when one is down to one's "last servant". I couldn't ,in all honesty, feel heartfelt compassion for a silly woman whose lot was not really terribly tragic. Oh, for the enviable position of having to sell everything and still end up living in idyllic retirement in a "roses round the door" beside the river, cottage.My sympathies lay with her son. Trying to argue some sense into a spoilt,helpless, twerp of a Mother.

This film tells the story of a wealthy American woman whose fortunes have turned after her husband's death. She befriends a man who lives wild no the heath next to her home, and together they fight for things they truly wanted in life.

The characters are very interesting in here for a change. The superficial friends in the neighbourhood are rather thought provoking, as they appear so perfect from the outside but they are way less than perfect on the inside. Indeed they seem to be selfish and have little compassion for each other. The final courtroom scene is unexpectedly touching, as the stranger makes a moving confession. It is an enjoyable, and certainly unconventional romantic film.
