Jim Broadbent is of course marvellous, and the supporting cast of tag alongside are funny, but this good hearted film ultimately is about loss and pain and the director and writer never manage to lift us far enough away from tragedy to gain insight and relief.
Ultimately a morbid rather depressing story which leave us feeling down.
The dog who adopts JB and leaves to care for another souls is brilliant, and the realisation by the protagonist's wife that she is a very selfish person is cathartic, but the writer cannot escape her own desire to make us live the pain forever.
Not why I go to the flicks.
