... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

... View MoreThe experience can differ from person to person. But it is a nice film for sure. If you want to watch a movie and feel good about it, then this movie serve the purpose. It has no well defined story structure or closure.Simply we are traveling with an old widow, visiting people with her and try to see the world from her point of view.It was all about Susan Sarandon. The 69 year old actress is preforming with full energy. She is driving around , exploring iPhone usage and meeting people. She has her excuses for everything.If you can enjoy a nice acting performance no mater what the script is, then this is an enjoyable film. Also it becomes nicer if you can relate this character to someone from our real life.
... View More-spoiler alert-Nobody likes movies about people, just people, anymore. This movie is sweet, well written, and ends on a happy note. Quit trying to be wanna be movie critics and just enjoy a grown-up movie. And duh, no movie with J.K. Simmons in it is ever bad. Especially with the chickens. Go Griz.
