As a Tucci fan I was really keen to see this film after hearing so many great things about it. In the end, I wasn't disappointed .... but it isn't an easy watch.
I've seen complaints that the film is slow and for the most part I would agree. However, the subject matter pretty much dictates this so I don't believe it's right to 'complain' as such. More of an observation that the film is very much a slow burn.
It is quite a sad portrayal of the onset of dementia (surprise!) and Tusker's losing of his 'self' .... and finally coming to the decision that he doesn't want this to be his life. It's impossible to put yourself in his shoes but his explanation was very well handled, I think, as are Sam's objections.
I didn't really buy into the two main leads as a couple for some reason, although the performances were very good.
Not sure where the film was set exactly but the scenery was wonderful.
77/100.
