Saw "The Leisure Seeker" today w/Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland--very senior married couple strike out in their 75 Winnebago named Leisure Seeker for Hemmingway's House in Key West -
They were both excellent but the script asked a lot...of them and the audience
I just thought most of the people they met were really unusually nice
Mirren has a distinct southern accent that varies in strength over the course of the movie--but she knows her character
Sutherland at times reminded me of the goofy criminal he played in "The Dirty Dozen" and his iconoclastic Army doctor in "MASH"... But he is believable in the way he switches moods and personas...
Won't appeal to everyone and likely won't be very successful because it is fairly blunt about the facts of life
An unusual movie but my daughter selected it and it kept me wondering what would come next. Solid performances by all and especially by Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer.
I know nobody is going to rush out to see this limited release film from Chile, but if you do, look up the title + ebert and read Sheila O'Malley's second sentence of her review (I call it a spoiler - link is hidden below). I don't know if I would have gone if I did, and I would have missed out. Or, if you want to see it blind - that's ok too.
At home just now: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Honestly, my favorite part of that movie were the secondary characters, Kowalski and Queenie. They're adorable. I'm glad they'll be back in the next one.
Earlier today I watched a 20-minute live-action short called The Silent Child. It won the Oscar this year in that category. It was very good, and I was very invested in the main character -- a deaf girl living in a hearing family; she cannot hear or speak, but her mother doesn't seem interested in learning sign language to communicate with her. I was teary at the end and sorry that the movie only lasted 20 minutes. I would have liked for it to continue. The movie can't be rented, but I purchased the SD version for $1.99. It was definitely worth my two bucks. I recommend.
The young woman who starred in the movie (as the caregiver who comes in and starts to teach the child sign language) is also the writer. Her father became deaf when she was 12, and she is fluent in British sign language and advocates for deaf awareness and the deaf community.
