A friend and I saw this movie last night and both of us totally loved it. The acting is superb, the story line is so simple and believable. I've already recommended it to others.
I have seen this movie twice and loved it both times and will see it again and buy the DVD. The only complaint I have is that my hometown, in which the majority of the filming took place, is not named. The new house was built on our property in GOLDEN VALLEY ON and other locations in the town were also used in the filming. We in the area are justifiably proud to have been hosts to the cast and crew and enjoyed the experience tremendously. We are glad the film has been received so well. Congratulations to the lead actors for their performances they were so beautiful and believable.Hello to all the fine people we met while they were in "the Valley".
My wife and I just have just viewed this wonderful film. We were overwhelmed by the performance of Crawford and Bujold -beautiful, A poignant love story that a growing number of folks will relate to. The setting in St Martins NB was not only the natural location but it was spectacular and the inclusion of other Canadian sites like North Bay ON and Port Loring ON in the Almaguin Highlands were appreciated. Another Canadian Classic for future generations.
LOVED IT!!
CAN NOT WAIT TO BE ABLE TO BUY THIS MOVIE SO THAT I CAN WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
We saw this movie last evening in Saint John, an excellent picture telling a true story. The acting was superb. The feeling of love, anger and frustration were overwhelming. A must see.
Excellent movie. Teaches us about unconditional love. It is also a metaphor on the continuing bad habit of society to dictate to people, in this case older people, how they will live their lives, particularly the last chapter of their lives. The building department's sanctimonious rigidity is just one example of how our society needs to change, substantially and rapidly. Great movie. We enjoyed it enormously and hope that it receives the recognition that it deserves. Incredible acting.
Could relate to the independent common sense attitude of the leading man.Currently doing a bathroom at home with zero proper paperwork.Location was a real treat."Cows on road"and "old girl freind"were a real hit with the Kent County screening.New theatre was full.Need the director's autograph.
A sensitive insightful film exploring the dilemmas of the elderly living in a bureaucratic society that has lost sight of humane consideration. Well acted, beautifully filmed and topical for the boomers....and so Canadian.
a very touching movie showcasing unconditional love & devotion
