Christopher Plummer

A fantastic performance by Christopher Plummer fuels this smart and calm semi-autobiographical effort from writer-director Mike Mills, Jane F. Carlson writes.

A beautiful film that reminds us that it's possible to make a fresh start and that human beings are supposed to feel.

This film has no story to tell, the characters are all too passive to cause any kind of conflict and the endless flashbacks slow down a snail-pace to a near standstill.
