Overview
Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend.
I absolutely loved this movie. It was funny yet dramatic at the same time. The acting was sensational and so was the story. Melanie Laurent (best known for being “Shoshanna” in Inglorious Basterds) was sensational and had fantastic chemistry with McGregor. Easily one of my favorite movies of the year.
