I praise the acting, cinematography, direction, and premise. Not enough interplay between different times (two phases exist for main characters) to make it effective. It's fairly serious but not depressing. I like the issues of how to deal with past loves when you are older.
It's a great portrayal of life in the 1950s, contrasted with modern attitudes using a time shift, accentuating what we chose when young versus real middle age, and the troublesome agony of issues we find relevant now. Sometimes I wonder, did people care back then about the issues we face now - and why not?
Overall a very safe film. Fair and nice soundtrack, lovely scenery.
