Michael says: “Two older, retired women who have been romantically involved for the past twenty years live in neighboring apartments. They plan to move to Italy to live out the remainder of their lives together now that Madeleine has become a widow. The problem is, she hasn’t told her adult son and daughter yet, and she’s having trouble with it. When a change in circumstance threatens to tear the apart, both defy incredible odds to be together. Powerful script, great direction and wonderful acting. I was particularly impressed by Chevallier, who had to convey so much without speaking. 4 cats“
