    Beautiful and sad and funny

    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.

    Karen Gillan indie

    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.

    Heartfelt Story of Unexpected Bonds and Self-Discovery

    Watched this with an open mind and really enjoyed it. The bond between the awkward young Karen Gillian and the older Polish woman was beautifully done-a good take away is that they didn't need to fully understand each other to connect.

    Their dynamic felt authentic, with plenty of learning moments and self-awareness throughout. The film explores loneliness (especially with the elderly), change, and unexpected friendships in a way that feels both touching and relatable. You never really know how much of an impact your can make with someone who is unlike you. A quiet but meaningful story that stays with you.

    Sweet

    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.

    A real gem. Quietly charming. Positive msg but not saccharin.

    A sweet movie with solid performances from all the cast. If your idea of a good time involves stunts and superheroes then this may not be for you.

    It's just a quiet slice of life type of movie. Probably appreciated more by women. I found the Alzheimer's storyline very moving. At its heart it is a story of mothers and daughters.

    I must have liked it a lot because I went to the trouble of logging in to IMDb for only the second time in ten years and what a blooming palaver that was.

    What more can I say. Give it a go. If you don't like it after twenty minutes then turn it off. I liked it a lot.
