Review of 45 Years (2015) by Jeremyp — 15 Feb 2016
A slow, subtle movie that requires patience and a willingness to imagine rather than merely observe. Picking one central character, played by Charlotte Rampling, and having Tom Courtney's grieving husband secondary lessens the depth of the movie.
She is shown as the victim, while he comes across as self centered, which makes his grief shallow, thus trying to force us to pick her as the aggrieved one, where in reality both stories deserve our respect.
Rampling is very good as the emotions cascading inside her broil under the surface while she struggles with the ever expanding revelations that devestate her.
