Wonderful Dramady About Age and Connection
While the movie veers away from the Novel in many ways, it is a wonderful story about aging and the eventual loss of family and friends. The chemistry between Joan Plowright and Rupert Friend is electric. It says a great deal for Friend as an actor that he could more than hold his own with one of Britain's great stage actors.
The supporting cast a veritable Who's Who of BBC Masterpiece Theater productions. If you are a fan of well written, well acted, character driven films, then this one is for you.
