Late Bloomers

This film is emotional, funny, sad, and layered. The main plot is about a woman who is ann emotional wreck due to a breakup. But as the film develops you learn there is much more to her. Her life has been touched by heartache that goes deeper than just a simple breakup. You are brought into her life and the feelings she has because of her past. The sub plot is her relationship with an elderly woman who brings silent emotion to the story. The elderly woman misses her past and learns to move into her future from the main character. Each character plays a critical role in bringing every emotion into each scene. If you speak a bit of Polish than the subtle jokes become more of an inside joke you have with the Polish characters, but don't worry, if you don't, you are filled in at the end.

I am a big Karen Gillan fan, I have watched all of her movies that I have been able to find. Also her outstanding stint on "Dr. Who." And she is so talented, with a great singing voice, as she demonstrates briefly in this movie. I probably would have enjoyed this movie if it had a different actress in the lead role but it would not have been as good.

Here Gillan (in her early 30s) is Louise, a 28-yr-old who it seems is having a hard time accepting adulthood. As the movie opens she is on a second story apartment ledge, with too much booze in her she falls hard and ends up in the hospital. She has a broken hip.

As fate would have it she is temporarily in the same recovery room as an older, difficult Polish woman who does not speak English. They immediately detest each others' company but Louise needs an income and the older lady needs a caretaker. That developing relationship is what the movie is about and in the process Louise learns responsibility and how to grow into adulthood.

Not great movie, I didn't enjoy all the scenes, but overall I found it to be enjoyable entertainment, particularly because of Gillan, she is superb! And her song near the end is really great.

At home, streaming.

This movie hit home hard in a beautiful, sad and funny way. .... So thank you very much for this film! I loved it. If you're dealing with someone with Alzheimer, take a box of tissues and watch this movie. It's like a little present, we are not alone. Help each other out to share the 'burden' . That's what this movie teaches us, and so many other things. I'm not 28 years anymore but could really relate to Louise.

All the actors did a tremendous job. The only thing was the character Max, it wasn't clear to me where he lives but he was very nice.

Too bad we have to write 600 words, cause I've said everything I want to say.

10 out of 10 for me.

Louise (Karen Gillan) is a 28 year old mess. She breaks her hip while trying to sneak into her ex-boyfriend's apartment. Her hospital roommate Antonina (Malgorzata Zajaczkowska) is a cranky old lady who speaks only Polish. She ends up in physical therapy with a bunch of old ladies and befriends former enemy Antonina.

Antonina is a little too mean at the start. I'm not sure where she crossed the line. It would be more compelling if she turned up a Polish song instead of English TV. Gillan is doing a terrific job as usual. She's endearing with Antonina. What I love most is her trouble dealing with her mother.

A very sweet little movie about life and the little things that matter, it just an enjoyable and chill experience and that's always great in movies, it makes you revaluate your life, you need to change your life and do better ok, its for your own good ok, dont get mad i i know its hard to accept it.

The story and relationships beetwen the two female leads is a great one, if made me remember of those old movies about mom and daughter, we don't have movies like that anymore, a shame it's overall a good little enjoyable movie to watch with your family and love ones or maybe alone if that's your things.
