Slow.

Ernesto the police officer was the best part. Very real and convincing. The main stars were played too stoic. It's was like watching want to express better , but were being held back.

Director's fault

I could not understand why Cybil Shepherd's character was so stiff and one dimensional until I read her interview where she said the director kept telling her to "do less" so the viewer could insert their own emotions. Well I am here to say it didn't work. The dialog was slow and stiff despite a good cast. There are plot holes so big that all the actors should have fallen through them. I really wanted to like this film, but it's just poorly made by a person who doesn't understand pacing or that a woman can't go through a movie staring without cracking a smile. You never grow to even like these characters. Pass this one up.

Loved this coming of age movie

I could never understand how she kept the charge in her battery. What a beautiful movie. I admire Cybil Shepherd as the perfect retired cop. Somewhere I picked up there was an age difference between the love interests, but I did see it. Pam Greer it's great to see you again. And I relate always to Amy Madigan.

The theme is a viable one...

-But it doesn't move the viewer, even those of us in the peer group of both Brolin and Sheperd. Mainly because Cybill Sheperd is "zeroed out" as an actress in the role and the daughter of Mac is churlish if not disingenuous. Cybill Sheperd, much as I like her normal zaniness? -Just doesn't fit the bill in this story of a dying woman...It leaves you feeling blah, if anything. Numbing movie at best when it COULD be so much better...

The story is unique however and one for our times, no doubt about that.

I just thinking the casting was misguided in the lead role and that of the daughter.

Simply not good...

Dumb dialogue, miscast, not good directing. Too bad...
