I have mixed feelings about 23 Walks. As I am about the same age that the two protagonists are, I related to several of their "issues" which was what kept me interested. At the same time this is a pure "relationship film" in which what happens is related to feelings and interactions with others, in addition to the aging process. It's also about relationships with and between dogs. I stayed with it but at times considered turning it off. The acting was quite good and one of the best features of the film was the camera shots of woods, meadows, and seasons changing. Likewise the sounds of birds and other aspects of nature were wonderful. If you want to watch a calm yet emotional film, and/or are a dog lover, this could be it.
