Review of Away from Her (2007) by Jon G — 23 Jun 2008
Impressive directorial debut by Canadian actress Sarah Polley featuring first rate performances by Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent. An aging couple, almost inseparable for 50 years, are forced to deal with the hard reality of Alzheimer's as she further descends into the throes of the disease and he must suffer the loneliness.
Great also are supporting players Michael Murphy and Olympia Dukakis. The film moves gracefully until the plot takes some contrived turns and cops out in the end.
