      John E Funny at timesTouching at times.and Charlotte Ram-long all the time. It simply doesnt get any better! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review William H I'm 75 years old. I thought the acting in this movie was good however the plot developed slowly and was often tediously boring. It made me feel sad. Unfortunately, we will all face similar circumstances someday assuming we live long enough. I, like most people I'm sure, endeavor to ignore the possibility hoping that it will simply go away. The movie was for me like paying to go see one of my nightmares. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Dana Superb acting and writing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review richie v NUEVOS VALORES Todo es confuso, la vida es confusa, las generaciones son odiosas, también encantadoras, unas contra otras al final acaban conociéndose, quizá no se llevan tan mal como creían, tienen sus diferencias, eso es lo que les hace especiales, diferentes. Me convencen mucho estas historias, me entusiasman, a veces porque yo también tengo en mi vida lo que veo en la pantalla, otras porque lo necesito, desesperadamente, y también sin necesidad, solo necesitarlo por si acaso, para un futuro próximo, o lejano, con tal de fantasear con eso que deseas aumenta vida, y también dolor, mucho. Como he dicho antes, adoro este tipo de cuentos, se saca mucha información, se aprende, se llora (sobre todo), se ríe… Se concentra en todo eso que puede crear felicidad. Y yo estando muerto he conseguido ver la luz en muchas de éstas historias. Y también en muchas que especialmente se concentran y concluyen en una oscuridad. Sin embargo, ésta aún siendo muy agradable, inteligente y rica de sabiduría (como de normal en éstas), no consigue hacer concentrarme plenamente, tampoco emocionarme (espero que ese sea uno de los objetivos, si no…) y sentir esas emociones de luz. Puedo imaginarme en ella su agujero brillante del que se puede escapar fácilmente pero no volver de manera tan sencilla. Cabe destacar que sus personajes e intérpretes son de lo mejor de la película, a los cuatro principales les puedo coger fácilmente cariño, si no lo he hecho ya. Hay épocas que soy más sensible que un caniche, otras que soy el diablo emocionalmente; eso no significa que sea feliz, es más, no creo que lo sea ni en esas épocas, que suelen ser cortas. Y por culpa de mis bipolaridades no sé si Juniper es de verdad sensible, o todo es convencional, aunque lo fuera su camino es agradable, su conclusión es aterrorizadora. Tampoco he estado en la situación de esas dos personas, un adolescente y abuela, pero sin complicaciones podría emocionar a alguien que sí lo ha experimentado (mi madre con su abuela), alguien no tan bipolar como yo. La espero para otra de mis épocas, ojalá haya suerte. -RICHIE VALERO Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review JV H Poignant. Well done.

      Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It feels personal in a lot of the details and production design... That elevates it from a generic story. Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Jude Dry indieWire The movie holds back at every potential dramatic turn, gripping the emotional reins tight where it could have loosened them. But Rampling brings a quiet gravitas to the surly character. Rated: B Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Rex Reed Observer Charlotte Rampling coming out of semi-retirement is an occasion that should be accompanied by fireworks — and she provides the fireworks herself in this film about healing fractured family dynamics. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a cynical and unconvincing film about the bonding between generations. Rated: B- Jul 13, 2023 Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Filmmakers should showcase Rampling’s indomitable presence and deep-set eyes for as long as she’s working, but ideally with more actors capable of facing the look. Rated: 2/4 Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Alyssa Christian Next Best Picture Saville’s directorial debut is solid, just like his script, even if it is not groundbreaking. Despite being rather slowly paced, at 94 minutes, the film goes by rather quickly and doesn’t feel like it overstays its welcome. Rated: 6/10 Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
