Title: Beautiful film
Review: Forest Whitaker did a wonderful job in illustrating how each of us handles the good and not-so-good things that come our way; and no matter how much we strive to be different from our parents, we somehow end up picking up parts of them anyway. The good part about the film is the performance by Gena Rowlands. What a diverse actress she is, and her portrayal of a woman who loves but shows it in detached ways is credible.As for the "real" portion, having been through some of the life situations, I was pleased that they weren't undermined nor catastrophized. What a pleasant surprise. It's definitely a feel-good movie, and one that can break your heart for so many reasons.It is a beautifully crafted film, from the music to the cinematography. And a surprising performance by Harry Connick, Jr.
