Living

"Legendary Bill Nighy plays a stereotypical stodgy, buttoned up Englishman in 1949 who learns he doesn’t have long to live and he wants to take what short time he has left to do some good. Terrific cast, including the wonderful Aimee Lou Wood, who was fantastic in Sex Education. Plus a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. Some might say this moves at a glacial pace, but it’s simply a movie made like those of yore, even made with the old timey aspect ratio. It touched me, which are what movies are meant to do. "

"Omg a film about civil servants and their potential for complacency and ultimately decency if they only try a little bit. I have been one and have seen the light. A film about small and personal revelations."

"Such a wonderful film. Old-fashioned yet wonderfully well made, and not to mention a beautiful reminder of living your life to the fullest. Bill Nighy gives a heartfelt performance here, accompanied by a fantastic screenplay by Kazuo Ishiguro (the Oscar nominations were well deserved for both of them). Do not miss this."

"I wouldn’t say this movie isn’t profound or beautifully shot, and Bill Nighy’s acting is superb. But it was so unrelentingly depressing and there was not a single other character that was interesting to me. This movie should’ve been called Dying."

"Very well made, and better than I expected. Great script, storytelling, and scenography. I liked the orchestral music. Everything just right. Endearing and moving."

"Very sad story. But it had its cheerful and inspiring moments."

"What a great movie. Stay with it. There is a story we can all learn from. Well done."

"Understated and beautiful. Have the tissues ready! "

"Touching and I loved the cinematography. "
