Movie #1132 ........................."I'll See You In My Dreams"
Movie #1132 "I'll See You In My Dreams" is a sad movie --- I'm not quite sure what I got out of this film ---- except that as you get older, you lose people and best friends (aka dogs) in your life and you are left alone...so you search for human contact with the outside world. I'm also not quite sure who doesn't know that, but there it is. Blythe Danner is really very good in the movie ---- very low key performances, only forced when with her friends (Rhea Perlman, Linda Kay Place, June Squibb) and then it becomes a competition for who is funnier. Too bad, because the women are all capable of a better script in their scenes..... Anyway, the best scenes are between Blythe Danner and Sam Elliott -- there is an ease about the two of them that is enjoyable to watch, almost as enjoyable as watching Blythe with Martin Starr (the geekiest geek from "freaks and Geeks") There's a deepness to their wounded, lonely bond that draws them to each other --- some people might find it weird, since there is an age difference, or confusing ( what is their friendship all about?). But I found it the best thing about the film ---- I watched this because Danner has been talked about for possible awards in the upcoming awards season, but I'm thinking I don't agree. Good performance, but doesn't run the gamut ---- pretty low key.
2015 Rated PG-1395 mins I'd give it 3 stars out of 5.
