It's not that often a movie comes around about nothing special and still it just works.
Some scenes, and old man in a chair talking to....nobody.., well, manages to be great entertainment. Robert Redford really did a great job. People, pictures and atmosphere, everything just feels true and interesting. Sometimes you end up watching a movie with all the things lined up, big budget, big names and a great story and still end up feeling empty. This is the opposite. Moving and funny at once. A simple story about life and expectations maybe. This is what cinema is about.
Regardless of genre, a great movie is a great movie and this is a really great movie. I waited years for it finally being available on DVD.
