This one received mixed reviews, but I have a fondness for Mike Mills’ work & really liked it, it’s kind of slow but beautifully deals with trying - under difficult circumstances - to take care of & show care for the ones you love

Directed by Mike Mills & starring Ewan McGregor, Mélanie Laurent, and Christopher Plummer-- I think of this movie often & feel like it profoundly changed me.
It's a poignant story about a man falling in love after his father, who came out as gay late in life, passes away. It's about grief and love, about joy, loneliness, and connection...then how all of those emotions intercede and collide with the events in one's life to inform who we are now and who we are becoming...
For me, this film is beautiful, transcendent catharsis. Consume away! (& if you like it, I also like C'mon, C'mon by the same director)

Mike Mills just gets it. The beauty of life. The pain of life. All the things that conform a human experience and make it so rare and precious and unique. Each life is different, every life is the same.

that feeling of noticing how special the thing you're watching is... not too different from really feeling your age when back home during the holidays - looking up at the moon, moon looking back at you. keep thinking that whenever my soul feels quiet it's cause i'm not observing all the details of the world around me enough. this movie is so kind and observant and made me ache for my mother's hand on my head, for driving fast screaming car is god, we are never gonna fucking die, for the things we say underneath the things we say
