Aging is devastating.
Sometimes I stay up at night frustrated with how linear time is. I wish I could hold onto certain moments longer, handle myself differently in bad times, and skip over the painful times. I feel like this movie captures that feeling but from the other side.
Hollywood in the 30s tended to be more escapist, with a few major exceptions. This movie feels like it confronts the issues of its time. The conversations the family has about finances, love, aging, feel like they could have happened yesterday.
The old couple's love is so tender. This movie is at it's best when they're together in the last 30 minutes, but the times they are apart make you appreciate those moments so much more.
I was sobbing.
