Movie #16 "Bonneville" (plot see below) is one of the thousands of "grief" ladened films out there, and yes it bears resemblance to "thelma and Louise" with solidarity of women driving out west in a classy car, but it's so well acted, and so different in its goal (to bring Lang's husband to his daughter for a funeral ) that it bears a second look --- esp. by people who don't think there's life after age 60.
Bonneville(2006) Jessica Lange, Joan Allen and Kathy Bates star in this road trip yarn, which follows three friends on a journey across the West after one of them is widowed. Along the way, they learn a thing or two about themselves, one another and life. Powerful performances drive home the themes of friendship and female solidarity, while the awe-inspiring landscapes of the American Southwest convey a true sense of carpe diem.
