Just watched it and it's lovely. Nothing groundbreaking, but on the other hand, one could say they don't make films like this any longer, unfortunately.

It's a simple story and yes, there are a couple of clichés, but it's still refreshing. Do you know why? There is a man and a woman, and they fall in love. No propaganda whatsoever. How sad is it that this kind of story is such a rarity these days?

One annoying downside is that it is marketed as a romantic comedy, which it is not. There is one character who is there for comic relief, I guess, but he is not funny.

Dustin Hoffman is fantastic. He is one of my favourite actors ever. It hurts to see him getting so old...

This comes off as an "intellectual" film these days? This movie is praised as "sophisticated" and "elegant"? I weep for humanity. Is there anyone well-educated and well-red left in the West? Is there anyone with a good taste left there?

It's anything but.

It's a fake of a film. It's phoney. It's contrived. It's unconvincing. It's inauthentic (yes, I'm talking to you, the person who wrote this script!)

And FYI, no one wants to see Geoffrey Rush in some of the scenes, you know what I mean.

The only things I enjoyed seeing were the beautiful works of art we have to pretend we don't know.

WHat a waste of time and money.

It's a sweet film with zero agenda, I mean, no gays, no transgender people, no zoophiles, which is crazy in this day and age. That's not its only strength, though. It's such a sweet story without being too sugary, and the main characters are so genuine, and yes, I was going "He is lowering the bar" in the first half of the film, but I was cheering for him in the second half. It's not about sports. It's about equality, genuine equality, not taking from normal people to give to perverts. It's about the working class and genuine good people. And that is what is being discriminated against now. Go Maurices of the world!
