Our Souls at Night



I just finished watching “Our Souls at Night” with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, directed by Ritesh Batra, and what a lovely bittersweet movie it is.

The movie shows the loneliness that afflicts many older people. It depicts two neighbors, a widow and a widower forming a friendship that evolves into love, leaving their loneliness behind.

The plot is a little slow, however, because Fonda and Redford are great together and they still have great chemistry, and they play the characters in such a straightforward and natural way, you root for them.

A special mention to Iain Armitage, he is excellent.

Great movie, I recommend it.
