Aug 24, 2013Monolith rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Directed by Nick Cassavetes, son of Gena Rowlands, ('Allie Calhoun' here, suffering from Alzheimer's disease), and her late husband, actor/director John Cassavetes. Beautiful story. A bit over the top, but very sweet. I thought Rachel McAdams overplayed young Allie just a trifle. Her exuberant cheerfulness bordered on nauseating. On the other hand, James Garner was magnificent. Very moving performance. My Mom had Alzheimer's, and my Dad went to her nursing home to feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for three years, until she passed. Every. Single. Day. He passed one year later, (I believe, of a broken heart). So this story really hit home with me. Big time. It's tough to get old, man.
