Film Reviews by BE

I was unexpectedly impressed by this movie. It's slick and absorbing. I had not read the synopsis so did not realise it was based on true happenings until the credits came up. Excellent acting all round although I have a problem with unclear American diction. I usually access the subtitles facility for American movies but none available on this DVD. Fortunately, this did not impede enjoyment of the film.

A superbly crafted study in illness, old age and mortality which cannot be faulted but oh dear, what a depressing movie. It was long and hardly entertainment for a Saturday night with no humour or light relief whatsoever.
