Overview
Louise, an aimless, 28 year-old Brooklynite, recently single, sort of a musician, depressed without admitting to it, drunkenly falls while doing something stupid and breaks her hip. This lands her in a physical therapy ward full of people twice her age. There, she meets Antonina - a cranky elderly Polish woman, who speaks no English. Louise gets a job caring for her. Neither woman loves the arrangement but it’s time to face the truth about aging. We all have to grow up sometime.
The first hour of this movie was rather pedestrian, but the last thirty minutes are really pretty tremendous. First and foremost, the actress that plays the elderly woman is absolutely incredible (I have added some of her older movies to my watch list). Karen Gillan is also quite good, and the final scene of the movie is also tremendous.
