Our souls at night (2017) ****

Source: Imdb

This quiet drama about two lonely elderly people seeking solace in each other was exquisite. It was obvious that both Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are true masters of their craft, but also that they really enjoyed their work here. The sparkle in their eyes was just a pleasure to watch as these two veterans performed the roles of two widowed neighbours growing closer to each other. They were just perfect, soothing and warm like melted butter and maple syrup. The supporting roles were well-cast, too.
The script was soothingly uneventful, except for some minor crises. The pacing was gorgeously slow, just edging on dragging, but I felt that it kind of reflected the way things move for the elderly (at least that’s how it looks to an outside observer).
The technical execution was a no-frills production with beautiful tableaus and high-quality visuals, languidly edited with enough breathing room for all actors and framed by a beautiful score.
The slow pace, attention to detail and masterful acting made this a joy to watch, even if the end fell a bit below the upbeat tone of the rest of the film.
 4/5 for a catastrophe-free, gentle, heart-warming piece of entertainment.
