A pleasure to watch a real pro in action!
This movie is all about Peter Falk, and what he’s capable of when released from his Columbo role. Not that I have anything against Columbo — it’s one of the all-time great cop characters, along with Sgt. Friday and Sipowicz — but in a police procedural we’re mainly interested in what happens next, and any good director keeps that in mind. Here Falk gets to display the breadth and depth of his powers, and keeps us enthralled from the first scene to the last. He was “only” 68 when this film was released, but is convincingly aged during its course from something like 60 up to 107 (yes, really), which is a tribute not only to him but to the formidable makeup department (IMDb lists nine makeup credits). And just because grandfather is such an overpowering character, we shouldn’t ignore the fine performances by D.B. Sweeney as his physician-grandson and Julianne Moore as the young social worker. In all, this is a moving story, well made and superbly acted. If you haven’t seen it, do.
Absorbing but s l o w. Spoilers
This is a good film, but slow. Peter Falk’s makeup is excellent, but D.B. Sweeney’s is not; at times when he is supposed to be younger, he looks older than in later scenes when he is supposed to be older but looks younger than he does earlier…huh?I did not expect Beth to die, and IMO the movie hung on too long after that. I think it was about 1/2 hour overbaked.
The main elements of the movie hang together. The writer did a good job of paying attention to his own work (sounds easy, but just try watching “Pushing Tin”).
The film did a good job of presenting the value of family. Such loyalty is always welcome.
This is, as I said, a good film.
