Movie #756 ........................"Still Mine"

Movie #756 "Still Mine" was the first of two movies we saw tonight from the Phoenix Film Festival, and this was wonderful! Dave and I both loved this moving story of these two people who are trying to deal with aging with dignity. The wife has some dementia and the husband is looking out for her and tries to prevent their 7 kids from putting her in a home, which neither he nor she wants. So he decides to take control and build a one level house for her. For a film that puts him into a lot of conflicts, there's a good amount of poignant, loving moments, and the acting is phenomenal! We hope this film gets released for a lot more people to see because I personally thought it was so much better than the academy award winner (for foreign films) "Amour." This is what "Amour" could have been, left in a better director's hands. Oh, just a p.s. this was based on a true story ---- I loved that about it, too. So believable and universal! Still Mine 2012 PG-13 5 stars out of 5 stars! this is a winner! and a must see! His home in disrepair, elderly farmer Craig Morrison must build a better shelter for his wife, whose health is deteriorating rapidly. He faces the wrath of an overzealous government inspector but refuses to back down. Cast:James Cromwell, Geneviève Bujold, Campbell Scott, Julie Stewart, Rick Roberts, George R.
