(VERY mild spoilers) Where do I begin? First of all, the trailer promised an interesting movie - even a moving movie - based on an all-too-familiar premise: a loved one needing to be cared for in a nursing home. With a great cast in place and a beautiful setting, the movie fizzled from the word go. Ugh.
OK, I get it - we all get it - people who age may lose their minds and need to be cared for away from home. We also get: the other spouse/family members may not know how to handle it. Only Hollywood is warped enough to assume that such left-behinds have nothing better to do to assuage their loneliness than sleep together.
Was this the same marvelous actress Olympia from former great movies? I couldn't tell; this performance lacked umph, energy, interest and life.
I can think of worse, so I'll give this film a 2 - but on the low side of 2. What a waste of time and money. If this review inspires even one potential movie-goer to avoid this junk, I'll feel it was worth spending even more time remembering this cinematic doo-doo to write this review.
