It's a well-made film but as you say it is just not memorable in any way. I liked Duvall monologue during the funeral scene but it almost didn't build it up enough and you're spot on in saying that the nice little ticks of the first half completely disappear in the second.<br /><br />Andrew - I think that's exactly it - it is charming on occasion but that's all it is: mildly attractive. Agree on Sissy Spaceck. I think she's probably the only member of the cast that didn't feel overly restrained.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-12804748044915390482011-07-04T01:54:55.661+01:002011-07-04T01:54:55.661+01:00You raise some excellent points, it does feel rest...You raise some excellent points, it does feel restrained and there's a sense that there's a more passionate film lurking beneath but I still find it charming - Sissy Spaceck especially so.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-34805275996710832462011-07-01T15:24:47.256+01:002011-07-01T15:24:47.256+01:00I agree.

The subtleties of the first half, the amusing moments were Duvall is a grumpy old hermit, and Murray acting as the shady businessman, are abandoned in the second half, as we discover his story. It didn't feel like his self-imprisonment was justified, and the funeral itself, well it was a let-down for me. Nice review. Thanks for the link. Appreciate it!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.com
