Sharang L @Scribe187 Jul 27 A bittersweet film that explores themes of loneliness and companionship in old age. Redford and Fonda are a joy to behold. An extra half star for not giving in to the temptation for a happy ending. See more Attila M @RT17548501 Oct 12 A profound masterpiece from two giants. It is quite a slow film, one should be relaxed enough to get into it. See more Alejandro E @Alex970 Oct 5 Seeing Jane Fonda and Robert Redford together again is precisely what drives this drama about an autumn friendship-romance. It doesn't live up to their best work, but seeing them together is a well-justified escape. May God keep Robert Redford in his glory. See more Eleanor G @RT35018683 Sep 29 Lovely, contemplative, poignant, melancholy, and a beautiful send-off for Robert Redford. We get so many of his favorite themes: family relationships & dynamics, redemption, the healing power of nature, simple country living. What a treat to see two lovely actors/stars with great chemistry, work together in the winter of their lives. How poignant. See more David M @DavidH99 Sep 18 A film about 2 seniors in which Jane Fonda plays a lonely woman who approaches her neighbor Robert Redford looking for companionship. Redford seems to be content with his life, and at first is reluctant to take up Fonda's offer to Platonically sleep with her, but eventually is ensnared. Over time a romantic relationship grows with Redford taking on the role of a strong husband/father figure when Fonda's middle aged son asks her to take care of his son (Fonda's grandson) when his wife suddenly leaves him. After nursing Fonda back to health after a serious fall, Redford (now in love with Fonda) is ditched by Fonda who decides to move in with her son to take care of both her son and grandson.

Robert Redford and Jane Fonda bring a quiet grace and tenderness to their roles, proving that love, connection, and companionship are just as vital later in life as they are in youth. Redford’s performance is understated yet deeply moving—he conveys more with a glance, a pause, or a soft smile than many actors do with pages of dialogue. The story is beautifully simple, rooted in ordinary lives, yet it feels profound because it reminds us of the universal need for human closeness. The chemistry between Redford and Fonda is effortless, carrying decades of shared history both on-screen and off. Their gentle vulnerability makes the film feel authentic, comforting, and timeless. This is not a loud or flashy movie, but that’s its strength—it’s a heartfelt meditation on second chances, healing, and the courage it takes to reach out. I found myself touched, inspired, and grateful for the reminder that love has no age limit. Truly one of Redford’s most tender and graceful performances. See more Read all reviews
