Because of changing times and regulations, they are no longer able to make a living from their small coastal New Brunswick farm. And Irene has begun to show signs of early dementia. Against the wishes of their two offspring who still reside in the area and who would like to see more standard care provided for Irene, Craig, the son of a master shipbuilder who inherited his father’s building abilities, decides to mill lumber from trees on their property and with it build a more suitable, small one story house on the property in which he and Irene can live. Beginning this project with only a design in his mind, he is encouraged by friends at least to go through the regulatory process of building permits and the like. Despite being able to complete this project to more than exacting centuries old standards, Craig ends up hitting one roadblock after another in this regulatory process, which could kibosh this project, and his want for what he sees as a comfortable life with Irene in their final years..
Plot: An elderly couple fight against local authorities in rural New Brunswick to build their final home.

Supporting actor becoming lead
On occasions supporting actors carry the weight of the movie. James Cromwell is the perfect example of this. After decades of being a supporting actor, Cromwell does ‘Still Mine’ as his first movie in a lead role. It was long due for him to be the star of a film. No only he does a marvelous job playing Craig Morrisson but also stars Genevieve Bujold as Cromwell’s wife. This two awesome actors play an elder couple who want and start to build a house against local authorities laws. Never a dull moment throughout the movie, and totally worth the while. It will take you on a journey of watching an elder man take care of his wife and do whatever he has to, so she is comfortable for the remain of her days

Canadian filmmaker Michael McGowan hands James Cromwell a gift with the character of Craig Morrison. It’s the role of a lifetime and Cromwell seems to understand the opportunity that has been handed to him. Still Mine following the darker Amour is another journey into the challenges of growing old and protecting your independence amidst the absurdity of modern life. At its core it’s the story of an heroic individualist who just happens to be a sprightly 89 year of age.

Hauled into court and facing jail time Craig Morrison staring down a visibly unimpressed Judge asks “Do you watch baseball, your honor?” This comment transports the narrative back to how his story let to this moment in time. Morrison lives with his wife Irene (Genevieve Bujold) who is progressively losing her memory with the onset of Alzheimer’s. Attempting to build a new home to make life easier for his wife he comes up against an unforgiving system represented by the officious government inspector (Jonathan Potts). Craig just wants to do things his way, on his land and to be independent. Not wanting to go into debt or sell off the land he has worked his whole life, he decides to do what his father did build a home. It’s a simple story, beautifully rendered.

At first glance Craig seems cantankerous and stubborn to an outsider, refusing help from his family and friends he intends to care Irene single handily. Yet beneath the surface he is stubbornly self-reliant and strong. The cruelty of Alzheimer’s throws up some challenges for the couple as Irene becomes dangerously incapable of looking after herself. She falls once and then again and their luck seems to be running out. Yet amidst the heartbreak of losing Irene to dementia there are still moments of deep tenderness. McGowan’s finely crafted script captures the intense love and affection of two people ingrained in each others soul. The bedtime conversations of remembrances of a life spent remarkably happily. Even stripping down to enjoy a night of passion after 60 odd years of marriage brings a celebratory joy to the proceedings. In these moments Cromwell and Bujold create a lifetime together, and their chemistry is palpable.

The decision to shoot in New Brunswick lends the film authenticity and beauty. In many ways the picture is conventionally shot, no stylistic flourishes, no fanfare but it suits the tone of the piece. McGowan who has a mixture of TV and films to his credit, understands the power of words and character. In his actors he has two giants who bring this great story to life. Mumford and Sons contribute their talent to the soundtrack.
