Boring as heck, but I loved it. Jeff Is always good.

Really really strange movie, definitely more avant garde than expected. The characters were well fleshed out but it was difficult at times to comprehend why they acted the way they did. The viewer gets dropped into the couple's…

Thirty years of marriage, and the resentments have piled up. He was unfaithful years ago, she is caustic and unforgiving. You know, however, that they are never going to divorce; they were made for each other. Lindsay Duncan is one of the…

Somehow, I keep watching movies set in gorgeous locations that focus on the turmoil and dissatisfaction of a long marriage (with some romance sprinkled in). This one came as a pleasant surprise as I watched Meg and Nick argue their way…

Le Week-End is a poignant look at a relationship whose embers of love are barely glowing, but whose principals still like each other too much to split up. Beautifully written and performed, there are biting truths here that will…

Yes, it was a bit awkward and uncomfortable-making at the beginning, but absolutely excellent by the time it ended. Overall, the most intelligently scripted film we've seen in a long time. Brilliant acting from the wonderfully-cast Jim…

Lindsay Duncan has eyes so cold at times that she is terrifying. And yet Jim Broadbent's character adores her. I borrowed this dvd because of Jeff Goldblum and expected something light. The way the two protagonists talk to each other is…

Painful to watch. Gave up halfway. Even with those two excellent actors, the film fell flat.

We gave up on it. So repetitive. They bicker and she hurts him, physically and mentally. He hurts her mentally. They make up. Then they start over. Lots of eating and bickering.

Didn't finish it - hope they got to wherever it was they thought they were heading. If you have been married to a good period of time you will relate to the jabs and her frustration of everything revolving around him. She wants a new…

This movie is hilarious--I literally missed about a third of the lines because I was laughing so hard. Serial monogamists will not get the jokes, as they refer to what people put up with when you are in it for the long haul: the Good, the…

Not much in the way of laughs for a comedy. Mostly believable characters in unbelievable circumstances. Wife wants a new and exciting life of an empty nest-er; recently fired husband wants the kid to come home and fill the house with…

This is a story of what happens when you're white, intellectual, and too self absorbed to do anything other than alternately be mean/dependant on your spouse as you age.

While watching this film, I was keenly aware of the excellent acting, and beautiful setting. What I wrestled with was the accuracy and sometimes moments of painful honesty (or even cruelty) a long marriage may contain. I did actually…

This is a small, independent film that delivers great performances, compelling characters and an excellent script full of wry and biting commentary on the nature of marriage and relationships.

Don't bother, not worth your time. Slow development that never developed.

I was hoping for something like the 'Before Sunrise' series, except with an aging couple. I was disappointed. The story is shallow, and the two main characters are totally unlikeable. Acting was OK but the talent was wasted. It is one…

If you like mature man-woman relationship films, this one is for you, far superior than Woody Allen's. The story was serious yet fun ... the poor husband remained hopelessly in love and desperately tried to change the mind of a…

Don't let the Paris location fool you; this is not a story of rediscovered love. Instead, it's a sour belch of a story about two whiny, nasty. self-absorbed Boomers.

Good acting, but in the service of a script that has made the characters very inconsistent. No real point to it all.

I'll pass. Thank you to all these reviewers for the warnings. The previews looked deceptively promising ! You've saved me 93 minutes of my life !!

a movie about growing old ungracefully . The elderly might just find this unredeeming towards their sunset years but I guess this usually happens for those whose expectation about life is high armed with wealth and education and totally…

Jim Broadbent and Lyndsay Duncan play an elderly couple who seemed to have been married for too many decades and seem to be disgusted with each other and perhaps even disgusted with themselves. For the first hour or so, they play…

I admire Jim Broadbent and always look forward to seeing films he's in, but this one was a disappointment. I think the problem is that the filmmakers tried to make a romantic comedy for boomers, one that has dramatic overtones and depth.…
