A sensitive treatment of the issues faced by three older women. The film was well-cast, and the performance of each actor was excellent. Also, the picturesque setting supported the storyline. (By the way: the English dubbing was good.)

I can't really understand the lukewarm rating here on IMDB. Maybe the viewing public wanted more action. This film is more about discovering one's self and learning how to relate to others. If that's not what you're looking for, then you might not be happy with this story.

The actresses are probably in their seventies, so Boomers are probably the target audience. Young people who are more philosophical might enjoy it, too.

I wanted to like this movie, and it DID have a few admirable features, but the great bulk of it was squandered potential. I've seen articles about Riley's political philosophy -- which is fine. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to write a script that will deliver on that promise. In the future -- if there is one -- maybe he'll develop some chops that will help him to focus and edit his story ideas.

Some people will like this picture, and to them I say: Great. Wonderful. Glad you had that positive experience.

I wish I had one of those. For me, though, it was just the opposite. I got bored after the first act and stopped rooting for the protagonist. After that point, I felt trapped.

All I can say is: Thank God for Movie Pass. I would be really bummed if I had spent my own money for this show. As it was, I "only" wasted 105 minutes of my life.
