Movie #276 "Summer Hours" is well acted, very universal, very intriguing to watch. The film brings up lots of issues as a life comes to an end, but her grandchildren's lives are just beginning. I would have ranked this movie higher if the end worked better. Although Roger Ebert said in his critique that if the viewer thought about it, it seemed an appropriate end, I don't agree. I HAVE been thinking about it for two days, and even though I understand why it ends so low key, I expected much more poignancy. For sure, It's always fun to watch juliette Binoche, but I prefer Cache over this.
