Thin plot that drags on mindlessly. Terrible acting. Perhaps if the female lead put down her cell phone more and lead actor showed a little PERSONALITY? -And BOTH spent time honing their respective acting, the movie would be salvageble. It drones on relentlessly without any marked action of emotion IF it is suppose to be a romance drama of any remote kind.
Somewhat amateurish acting but the plot was interesting and curiously inviting. Then again? Very often family dramas always are... And I am partial to "country" settings. David' character simply lacked "punch" while Julia was the persistent "punch" always digging to the "heart" of each and every matter. The father was well played in seeking reconciliation to close out his life. David's adopted brother was unfortunately, the weakest character. All this said? The family dynamic was unusual yet interesting and I felt David came full circle with his family "truthS" so to speak. Good effort; worthy story.
It's been some time since I've seen such a well acted, beautiful story of aging as this. -Often what happens when "kids" don't see aging parents as the HUMAN BEINGS that they are or the fact that they were ever young like them - holding the same feelings, thoughts and fears. The daughter, in my opinion was seriously troubled and she can blame it on her father all she chooses but bottomline? She was troubled; her life was troubled and she projected that hostility on her father's remaining years. You don't want to know what I THINK of that scenario (shades of Angelina Jolie!) EXCELLENT plot, storyline, acting & setting. Could not have BEEN BETTER. Kudos to all who contributed to this accurate display of the aging parent and distraught (if not screwed up) offspring!
