Every now and then, you bump into a movie that you are not aware of and it blows you away.
This is a simple movie that moves along at a gentle pace. No car chases, no explosions, no fights, just a beautiful story.
Morgan Freeman is an alcoholic author with writer's block who moves to Belle Isle to house-sit and dog-sit. He gets to know the lady next door and her daughters.
Morgan Freeman and Virginia Madsen are perfect in their roles, an absolute masterclass in acting from both of them. All the supporting cast are spot on too. The location is gorgeous and just helps this movie slowly drift by.
It is thought-provoking, a love story, a coming of age story in a way and more than anything else, is a tale of human interaction and how necessary that is in every day life and to help us to grow.
It will not be for everyone, for me it is an absolute gem.
