    Simply one of the best movies about approaching the end of our journey through life. Mortality in a very real form. A great story about letting go and just deciding to show up. Sometimes you simply have to look harder, but it truly is up to you.

    Two great actors deliver performances worth seeing in a story about aging. To really enjoy this film, wait till you have grandkids before watching.

    I really loved this movie as a child. It's good to know I can still watch it here.
