It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a simple story about being left alone to live ones life. See it if you can.

Still Mine (2012): Dir: Michael McGowan / Cast: James Cromwell, Genevieve Bujold, Campbell Scott, Julie Stewart, Jonathan Potts: Independent Canadian drama about those things we hold dear. James Cromwell plays a farmer in his eighties whose wife has health issues so he sets out to build a new house in order to aid her. Problems piles up when he must pay money to build on his own property then plans must be drawn up, etc. This becomes predictable and repetitious but it is sure to tug the heart strings. This is a struggling relationship that contains much more heart than many of the young couples who just hook up and have sex. Cromwell delivers a strong performance as someone fighting the system, or in this case, government bureaucrats who are attempting to prevent him from moving forward in this project. Cromwell steals the moment just from speaking but we also feel his aches and desperation when constant opposition presents itself. Genevieve Bujold is equally good as his wife who breaks her hip in a stair fall. She suffers from memory loss, which presents a whole new issue. The supporting players are mainly the grown children who show up and urge Cromwell to move Bujold into a nursing home but he prefers to build the new house and ignore their gripes. Jonathan Potts also plays a less than stellar villain in his quest to relieve them of their home, as well as the new one. This is not blockbuster status but it is a touching film about true love that transcends through a lifetime of heartache and trials while realizing that nothing can take it away. Score: 8 / 10

This movie was under the radar on release. I love the actors and decided to watch it based on reviews on various sites. It is priceless. Though I can understand how it may not translate that well to a younger audience (and thus some of the low review scores). To really "get" this movie you need to be of a certain age - someone who can remember what it was like in the world 50 or more years ago. Before the age of rules and regulations gone mad and of bureaucracy which exists only for its own sake. My dad grew up on a farm in the 30s and I can see some of his life experiences through this film. Top notch acting and script, and a lot of subject matter to give the viewer something deep and meaty to chew on after the film is over.Anyone born before 1960 - this is a must view movie.

I have no words to really express how much this movie truly affected my emotions. Just a big WOW. Well written and well acted. Movies based on true stories are the best, especially when they deal with real situations and don't need extra subplots. Tom Cromwell deserves a big round of applause! He is excellent. Have always liked him.This is a movie that every compassionate human being should see. Anyone can relate to the love between husband and wife, family and friends. And yes, wish we could have more Craig Morrisons in this world. But alas, money and bureaucracy are more alluring to the Now generation. Integrity is a word seldom used or adhered to in our world society. So sad. It is a great word and let's you sleep without remorse at night. This is a very good movie. Have the tissue handy but remember that families are going through these very real issues every second of the day all across the world, so don't dismiss this movie as a geezer movie or a chick film. As I said before, it is for every compassionate human being strong enough to have integrity and remember what the word means.
