Easy to be stingy about a movie like this that wears its heart on its sleeve, but I just sat through it happily feeling quite full in fact. Burstyn really is good; I chose to watch it because of her and she is rather a great actress, sounds a little hyperbolic but I think her c.v. Supports it. There is a small story about a man and woman played by Ann-Margret and Christopher Lloyd which is very touching indeed, and sugary sweet though it is for me it said more about Alzheimer's than that overblown and much lionized affair with Anthony Hopkins that takes itself so seriously but to me is non authentic and overblown. This film will last.
