The movie stars Jdosh Ackland (Die Hard 2, The Hunt for Red October), Hayley Atwell (The Pillars of the Earth, Cassandra's Dream), Brenda Fricker (The Intended, Pete's Metor), Imelda Staunton (a few Harry Potter films as Doloris? Umbridge, Shakespeare In Love), Vanessa Redgrave (Howards End, Girl, Interupted).
The plot is Atwell comes to work in her sisters retirement home to get money for a trip around the world. There mother gest sick around Christmas and has to leave Atwell in charge with four residents who dont have anywhere to go for Christmas. The story revolves around the developing affection they have for each other.
I rated this movie as a B. The biggest problem of the movie is the first maybe half of the movie before Atwell is in charge and there are other characters running around. The movie gets good when its just the four residents and Atwell. The movie does a good job of having people like the characters. Its a movie of the elderly having regrets. It could be a cautionary tale for people that time goes by quickly and to try and not be bitter because everybody has bad things that happen.
I would say dont wait to stream or rent this movie its worth an hour and a half of your time.
