One Last Thing

I loved all the actors and actresses! Very heartfelt. Very relatable. Great performances!

From the start, I felt Dylan. His slow, lonely, methodical life was sad to see. Then, he was given the gift of relationships. Throughout the movie, we were reminded that we were created to touch and interact with others. In our social media-techno world, it is easy to forget the beauty of letters and dinners and boat rides and meaningful conversation while strolling.

Wendell, Jurnee and Joanne are fine actors and their talents were on display. At times, the dialogue was not the best. However, it worth sticking around until the end.

The lead was so lovable and the settings were too! Maybe a little predictable, but thats not always a bad thing. Maybe its just me- but I really dont have a problem w/the gay lifestyle, but why does Hollywood SEEM to be pushing the gay/mix race relationships on us? I could have been fine if it had been a straight group- not sure how this plays out to youth? Same with product advertisements- seems like they have an agenda?

Why was it rated as mature? There were no gratuitous violence or sex scenes and hardly any profanity. I would have rated it PG at best.

A simple movie, but not necessarily predictable (the main twist in the plot I didn't see coming). This film deserves a high rating: it's not high drama, but instead is beautifully understated. I enjoyed the acting as none of the characters were incomprehensibly evil, overly emotional or crazy. They were just simple caring people in an unusual situation. Some aspects of the plot were a little unbelievable, but it didn't spoil the overall story which is a positive message of love for our fellow human, and compassion. So many films are about romantic love or defending the family or other selfish methods of preserving our own genes. This film reaches something about how it is to empathise with someone else, and how love doesn't have to be selfish or even logical, but is just how we are. Yep, can be considered a family movie, but I feel that denegrates what is actually a well filmed, nicely acted and simple but beautiful story. Yup, I cried. And as a late 40s ex military, it wasn't cos of something pathetic and superficial, but because of something touching and profound. I recommend this to everyone over 16 (younger people can watch and enjoy it but probably will find it difficult sympathising with a protagonist who is much older, dealing with meeting his daughter for the first time in 20 years).
