not good, not bad
19 September 2007
Jean has problems with his current boy-friend, he is a domestic abuser. When she has to leave away to avoid more fights, she must go to her ex-father-in-law house, as she has nowhere to go. There, she will have to face the repulse of Einar, who blames Jean for the death of his son. They will have to be able to think about themselves, and harmonize their souls from loses, forgiveness and hope. The story, though seen lots of times is not boring, anyway, it's not enormously interesting, either. IT goes correct and ideal for spending a peaceful afternoon after dinner. The acting is surprisingly good for a good-humored drama as this one, Redford and Freeman are always int heir paper, even if it's so empty as these ones, and Jennifer Lopex surprises everyone and proofs that she can act, too (yes! even she!). With a precious photography (the best of the film, sometimes you can forget about the movie and just admire the environment) the plot develops quietly in a way that can make you relax about a movie with current-usual problems with a correct doses of drama/humour. Not bad.
