Tanya’s Score: Okay-and-a-half*
Rated: 14A
Starring: a bunny boiler, J.D., Cora Crawley
Plot: A woman (Glenn Close) comes face to face with her life choices while in Stockholm where her husband (Jonathan Pryce) is to be honoured with the Nobel Prize for literature.
Tanya’s Verdict: This movie isn’t bad – though there’s plenty that bothers me about it. However, the one thing it got right is Glenn Close. She brings the light to what would otherwise be a somewhat hard-to-digest, but okay storyline – and in my opinion elevates the entire movie.
The plot line is okay though I found it not only a tad unrealistic – but a bit heavy-handed with its relentless message: “It’s a man’s world“.
Also – the dynamic between the parents and their adult son was very strange – to the point of distraction in my case.
Thank goodness for Glenn.
