The premise of this film was solid but it never really got going. In moments of it's character development and interaction you felt the film could be good (as in 7 out of 10). Sadly those moments were few and undeveloped (thus earning it a 4). Geriatric love, by itself, is an underdeveloped area in film. This film addresses that topic and throws in infidelity, homosexuality, offspring dissonance and dying relatives. Why not the kitchen sink? The film could not stay focused and got very slow about mid way through. It's my feeling that if the two protagonists could have been left to the job of self examination without the distractions present in the film it would have been a rewarding experience.
