slow, quiet, understated

but, oh so incredibly powerful.

I have not been to a movie theatre for a few years (covid) … I think it’s about time to put on my ‘silver’shoes …

        Yes, I hope so. Any movie which is not labeled a blockbuster, full of action or supports a mega cast doesn’t makes it too the theater here.

While Bill Nighy is best known in the US for “Love Actually”, he has had a great career of terrific performances and it’s great to see him nominated for Best Actor for this one!

Bill Nighy can be very good, as long as he is not playing ‘himself’, something he has done frequently in the past. I would definitely watch this film.
Best wishes, Pete.
