The Gin Game (2003 TV Movie)
7/10
A good movie with an abrupt ending

This is a beautiful movie that brilliantly shows how opposites attract. It depicts human nature so well and two opposites that clearly love each other's company and it shows how much they need each other even though they have such difficulty getting along. It is well done and a marvelous slice of life film. It tugs on your emotions. A very raw example of what it's like to grow old.

I enjoyed it exceedingly though, to the point where the ending left me feeling a bit disappointing, because all the marvelous build up felt very unresolved. It was saddening, because it's as though it represents tension never getting resolved. It is very realistic I have to admit, because in real life you can't always get a happy ending. I will admit to the disappointment being on my part and merely a preference and that I would rate it higher if not for the abrupt ending that doesn't satisfy.
