I loved this movie. I cannot believe what Clint Eastwood is doing in his 80's. Now, I think Eastwood is a great director, so I want to be impartial. I loved Invictus, and a lot of people thought it was slow / boring. Well, this movie is not an action film. Most of it is talk, and it is about death; specifically how death has affected the lives of three people. The first is a man in San Francisco, the second a child in London, the third a woman in France.
This movie is very sad, but I also found it incredibly hopeful. Hopeful is the word that keeps coming to my mind, along with startling and romantic (oddly enough). Add that to the pacing and cinematography I expect from an Eastwood film, and I give this an enthusiastic recommendation. I don't think I have ever seen a movie like this, and since most film making is derivative, that's saying something.
