A really well done legal/personal drama that had the whole theater teary, if not outright crying, at the end. Patricia Clarkson was great in the lead and John Benjamin was terrific as her husband. Together they were very believable as a married, in love couple. Both seemed a bit too old to play their younger selves but that part of the film was relatively short so not a huge deal. Editing was very good and everything moved at a nice pace, no boring bits. I could've lived without the son's storyline and personally think more of the legal proceedings would've been of greater interest but I'm a lawyer so that might just be a me thing. We saw this on a lark at the Santa Barbara film festival so we really didn't know what to expect but it definitely exceeded our expectations.
