I'm not going to say that this movie is for everyone and certainly not for every mood. But, on a whim I dvred it because it was set in London, and I wasn't disappointed. An elderly widow moves to London to start a new chapter in her life, to reconnect with her grandson, and to be independent, to be, and I quote, myself rather than a daughter, wife, mother. However, the first few minutes of the film you, as the viewer, can feel the loneliness off of the screen. She's surrounded by new faces and just seems so lost and alone. Life seems monotonous. And then she trips and falls and this young man, who could have easily have ignored her, runs out of his flat and helps her up and, rather than sending her on her way, offers her tea and his company. From then on, this young man, who admittedly has few friends but could easily find other amusements, and this older woman cultivate a truly symbiotic friendship. He learns from her, she learns from him, they surprise each other...and it's amazing how the choices made lead each to find happiness...him a new love...her some peace and happiness before death. It's uplifting to see humanity in that light, rather than always blowing each other up, stealing from one another, etc, and its so heartwrenching. We all make choices and we all cross paths with others...it's all about that. I'm still teary-eyed! And it makes me want to visit my grandmother really badly!!!
