This is How Movies Should Be Made

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fonda and Redford will star as Addie Moore and Louis Waters, a widow and widower who've lived next to each other for years. The pair have almost no relationship, but that all changes when Addie tries to make a connection with her neighbor. A very entertaining and sweet drama about finding "love" but also accepting the fact that you have to move on eventually with life plus both Jane Fonda and Robert Redford were brilliant and had such a nice chemistry together. It's a tad slow for sure but it's worth a fair set of chance for you to see it. (8/10)

The chemistry on screen is so apparent! They make such a power couple. Cute scenes between them. Highly approve of this movie.

I really liked this film. It felt like it was an adult film. No stunts, no special effects. Just a heartwarming story of two lonely people way, way into the last nine holes of their lives.In a small town in Colorado, Addie Moore (Fonda) and Louis Waters (Redford) have been neighbors for decades but don't really know each other. That's why it strikes Louis, a widower, as odd when Addie, a widow, comes over one evening with a matter-of-fact request: "Would you be interested in coming over to my house sometime and sleeping with me?"It's not about sex, Addie adds - "I lost interest in that a long time ago," she says. Rather, it's about companionship, having someone to talk to and "getting through the night." Louis thinks it over and agrees.Their baggage, their apprehension about starting a new relationship and their knowledge that there isn't time to waste are enough, and them overcoming those issues is what propels the story.Mostly, the director Batra lets the well-worked chemistry Redford and Fonda share do the heavy lifting. The stars have made three movies together before this: as an escaped convict and his unfaithful wife in "The Chase" (1966), as an uptight lawyer and his free-spirit bride in "Barefoot in the Park" (1967), and as a broken-down rodeo star and a sassy journalist in "The Electric Horseman" (1979) - and in "Our Souls at Night," they still bring out in each other a warmth and an easygoing manner, as if they've always been and always will be like this.This is an endearing film. Kudos to Fonda, Redford and the other actors, who were uniformly good, and well directed.

Is there anything more depressing than geriatric sex? Yes. Geriatric actors who just Won't. Go. Away. Look, there is nothing wrong with retirement. I know. I'm a retiree myself. And retirement in the case of these two Norma Desmonds would be even better. It would be dignified. You can't play Salome if you're past 17. At least Norma Desmond was 50. These two old farts are 80, for goodness sake.Jane, Bob. You were once gorgeous and sexy. Now you are just old. Sex at age 80 is one of those things that everybody knows (may) happen, but nobody wants to hear about. Like Alzheimer. So please, stop embarrassing yourselves. And us.
