    Frank Langella acting in his peak
    I could find no error in the story and that is unbelievable when I remember those top latest movies that I have watched in recent days of which they had at least a few.

    What impresses me at most is that we can trace those warm family ties which we used to have once and now deteriorating.

    The movie is easily watched; can assume the camera is well used and Frank Langella is acting marvelously.

    I wonder if the reason I liked the movie too much is that I am 63 years old.

    One more comment: It shows that you can make also make a good movie without a big budget and too many walking man.
