Sweet little film about repairing an already broken relationship with a father who is losing his memory. Yet, there are some things that the forgetful father remembers and the son has forgotten. It can be a bit slow moving at times, but let's you sit back and enjoy watching the process and the scenery and the acting. Rance does an amazing job of portraying just what it's like for a person of certain age losing his memory. His interaction with the other characters is very fun to watch. There are a few really thought provoking nuggets scattered throughout as well, such as do our memories make us who we are, do we lose our identity if we lose our memories? Although there is a love interest on the side of the film, it doesn't take the limelight away from the true story of repairing broken relationships. I think this was a great film and appropriate for the whole family.
Good story, but they dindnt know how to tell it.
The actors are not so good.
Dont loose your time.
A sweet and sensitive film, which portrays the cruel arrival of the German (Alzheimer's) and the repercussions in the family, a slow, simple and melancholic rhythm, but it is worth it ... Beautiful ...
Very touching story and great acting. I definitely recommend to spend time for this film instead of senseless comics movies.
I found this movie to be absolutely wonderful. I have studied Alzheimer's and worked with people with various ranges of this debilitating disease and this movie did a fantastic job of showing the ups and downs of memory, plus how it can also provide some blessings to the family and caregivers. The writing is fantastic in how it weaves the issues and forgotten/repressed memories of all 3 leads. This is storytelling at its best. Well written and well acted. I highly recommend.
