Nonureva Really Surprised!

SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Ml Watch this and find out! The lead actors playing the elderly couple are extraordinary. Not only about what marriage used to mean, commitment and deep intimacy and complimentary gender roles, And how well so many men and women used to work together on their own for survival. But also a profound and clear picture of what we are losing in society, independence, personal responsibility, self growth, creativity and the satisfaction of knowing yourself and doing things on your own. And how it is nearly impossible or even illegal to live that way today. A journey back when D.I.Y a necessity not a luxury. And all of it without some need to believe some hocus pocus Love commitment and personal self security based on your ability to actually do things for yourself. Almost lost nowadays.

bianaryabyss It's a wonderful heart warming story that puts on display some of the more troubling dynamics in our society. Everyone should see this movie! This movie could have been written about me. I've lived every aspect of this movie including the attitudes of an entitled younger generation incapable of doing anything without a certification, degree, governmental rubber stamp or some other external approval or authorization. America is giving up it's soul and drowning in the schemes of politicians and over leveraged business cronies and it's all on display here. I've actually had some of the same arguments with the same officials nearly verbatim.

DonB-5 This movie was under the radar on release. I love the actors and decided to watch it based on reviews on various sites. It is priceless. Though I can understand how it may not translate that well to a younger audience (and thus some of the low review scores). To really "get" this movie you need to be of a certain age - someone who can remember what it was like in the world 50 or more years ago. Before the age of rules and regulations gone mad and of bureaucracy which exists only for its own sake. My dad grew up on a farm in the 30s and I can see some of his life experiences through this film. Top notch acting and script, and a lot of subject matter to give the viewer something deep and meaty to chew on after the film is over.Anyone born before 1960 - this is a must view movie.

Tony Heck "We're still here, we have each other and isn't everything else a bonus?" Craig (Cromwell) and his wife Irene (Bujold) are in their 80's and beginning to feel it. Craig is being hit with new regulations on his farm and is unable to adapt as fast as he needs and Irene is beginning to show signs of dementia. Rather then admit they need to enter a home Craig decides to build a new home on their land that is smaller and easier for them to manage. Once again Craig is hit with new regulations that hinder his process but some things are harder to break then laws. Going in my first thought was...an old guy building a house, sounds exciting. It didn't take long at all for me to realize how wrong I was. The movie is filled with heart and the roadblocks Craig has to go through make you want to throw something at the screen. The fact that this is a true story makes it that much more touching. Overall, much much better then I expected, if you liked Amour you will like this as well. I really enjoyed this much more then expected. I give this a B+.
