Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones show why they are the best actors of this generation. Their performances will be remembered this award season.
Here Streep forces Jones to examine the boredom of their sexless marriage. So what if they seem a bit old to be married only thirty years. Steve Carell gets the mostly stoic role of their therapist.
It's the kind of soft script, if it didn't get Streep it most likely would not have been made. Maine locations don't quite open it enough and it feels like a play. A good play.
You care about the characters, even if, at times it is difficult to forget you are watching Meryl Streep. It has a few laughs but it's actually on the serious side.
In a summer loaded with explosions car chases and various shot'em-ups, it is a pleasant change of pace. See it.
