I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Martin Landau gives a gem of a performance which is enhanced by Ellen Burstyn.The story seems to center around an elderly man who finds love with a next door neighbor. The two become so attached that being away from one another for a brief time is earth shattering to them both.Go know that Landau is in the throws of Alzheimer's and Mary (Burstyn) is his wife along with the son, who he thinks is the boss and her daughter supposedly from her marriage which is really his.The disease is as devastating as ever; we don't need constant reminders of the havoc it can wreak.Wasn't the background music of Sunrise, Sunset unusual at the Christman surroundings party? I think they ably made the point by sunset.

Lovely, Still is a beautiful movie that rounds out 2 complex characters so completely that the ending, although heartbreaking, is perfect. Since Alzheimer's is a disease that touches many families this is a very poignant film to remind the viewer how precious time is with those we love. The beginning of the film, although a bit slow, captures your heart by investing time in watching two sole mates find each other, you think, later in life. The end of the film you see the struggle with overall conclusion that no matter against what odds, love is the most important thing. I will recommend everyone in my life to watch this film for the sake of reminding them how blessed we are.

I came across this gem of a film on cable by accident and was taken by its beauty, sensitivity, and honesty. It is a realistic portrait of a loving family coping with "the long good-bye" of Alzheimers, of a wife trying keep the connection between her and her husband alive even if the wiring is faulty, of a man among people who care yet is still traveling alone down the road to oblivion. Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn are fantastic. I knew from the beginning that something was off in the storyline, but the end revelation caught me by surprise anyway. A "must-see" for anyone caring for a loved one with this devastating disease. My mother had Alzheimers and our only consolation was that she passed away before she stopped recognizing my father.

Fortunately, I saw the preview recently in Tokyo. That was great. You should see this. When you see the press conference (Q & A) after the Toronto Film Festival, you can understand that the actors (Martin Landau, Ellen Burstyn and etc) and the young director Nicholas Fackler trusted entirely each other. The actors were fascinated by Nik's talent. They realized his genius potentials into the marvelous work. I was amazed at how such a young (at age of of 23) "student" could have directed this excellent movie. Therefore, it is too bad that this movie is, so far, ignored by major studios and distributors in the US.
