Current Film Review: Still Mine

We saw this pretty good Canadian romantic comedy/drama released in May 2013. It stars James Cromwell and Geneviève Bujold as married octogenarians living in rural New Brunswick. She is slowly losing her memory, and he is concerned, especially after her bad fall down the stairs. They have seven children and grandchildren who try to help, but he's too stubborn and proud. He gets the idea to build them a downscaled smaller house and runs into a big hassle with the local building inspector, a bureaucratic stickler for following the rules. Campbell Scott and Julie Stewart also star. IMDb.com rates it 7.2/10.0 which sounds about right to me. I liked how there was no violence or cursing in telling a dramatic story between an older married couple with a deep compassion for each other. The funny scenes are understated, and that works just fine. A fine film to see on a rainy day.
