Rated 3.11/5
Screened September 2006 Toronto Intl Film Festival
In a Nutshell:Fiona(Pinsent) and Grant(Christie) have an idyllic, close marriage into their retirement. When her memory starts to fail, Fiona insists on being institutionalized, so Grant won't have that burden.
Grant can barely cope without his life long partner.
Longtime actress Polley,paces this beautiful, touching(not mushy)work, with just the right amount of dialogue and reaction shots. Don't miss it. |
