Your mother dies, and your father dies just after. What do you do? This film touches upon, yet is clearly different than “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind”, where McGregor acts well and the tempo rolls on. It felt real to me; and the film picks up on “what is real?” without becoming pretentious. A lovely film.

An enjoyable tale, despite all the sadness and a very moody Ewan McGregor as Oliver. Plummer playing his father was well deserving of the Oscar nod. Laurent provides a fresh face as Oliver’s love-interest Anna. It’s a story of miscommunication, thwarted desires and romantic regrets, enlivened by Plummer’s exhuberant portrayal of an out-the-closet 75-yearold who discovers how to loosen up before succumbing to cancer. We should all be so fearless of living and dying.
