Bitter Sweet and Mesmerising
This film will certainly be understood and appreciated more by people who have some true experience of life, relationships, film and those who have faced their own demons and unabashedly know themselves. For others it can be a view into a profound life event.
The dialogue and narrations are pregnant with a wealth of meaning at and below the surface of the words.
The acting is splendid. What can one say about Gena Rowlands that has not been said. She is a consummate thespian. All performances are striking, subtle and yet powerful and so very real.
Beautifully filmed. The musical score is appropriate and never distracting but actually enhances the moments. These are real people dealing with real life circumstances, present and past. It is truly a Motion Picture. A priceless painting in movement.
