Review of An Unfinished Life (2005) by Anna K — 17 Dec 2007

Redford and Freeman give typical top notch performances in the film version of the novel of the same name. At first, my bias against Lopez wanted me to hate her in the movie, but she did a very good job working with the 2 great actors.

Becca Gardner held her own in her scenes with Redford and you could sense as the movie went on that her comfort level increased. I liked that the story line between Lopez and Lucas never became more than hints here and there.

I'm glad that the filmmakers didn't go Hollywood and turn a great movie into a typical one in regards to the exboyfriend's return in the end. They could have made it into a cheap unnecessary conflict but I'm glad they didn't.
