This was the first movie of the 2017-2018 Cinematheque series. I was just less than a week out of the hospital so I wasn’t certain how well I would last through a movie. We sat in the very front row (so I could stretch my legs) and I had a pillow for my back. No snacks for me but maybe eventually I can work up to some plain popcorn.

I loved the movie – right up until the end. The dialogue between Beatriz (Salma Heyek) and Doug (John Lithgow) was superb and really got to the centre of their two positions on development. There are lots of other familiar faces in the cast as well, including Connie Britton from the TV show Nashville. The ending was odd, but don’t let that put you off seeing the movie.
