Terrific

elision10

I'm surprised the reviews aren't more positive. For me the movie was extraordinarily touching. Perhaps it's the combination of Matthau and Burnett, two actors I love on their own and together are even better. I also liked that, even though it was San Francisco in the early Seventies, you didn't get a lot of cultural Zeitgeist or gratuitous mentions of Watergate (I think there was one Spiro Agnew joke). It's a sad, wry movie but ultimately extremely satisfying.

score 10/10
