Ms. Collins has not lost anything. I adore her and have most of her films!

A moving film, of those that I like too much, this cinema was a good trip. She would be a "Thelma and Louise" of old age. The story is very different, but the strength of women is similar, the film has several interesting situations. Relationship problems, lives truncated, not yet resolved. But in the end, what is worth, the trip, let's go in that galera !!!!I've seen a lot of unsold old-age films, now one came with a firm footprint, good to see, the movie with great vitality.Director: Roger Goldby, makes several mini-series for TV has few long, half that I do not know, between them directed "The Waiting Room" (2007), that still saw. The stars: Joan Collins, Pauline Collins, Franco Nero are wonderful, I emphasize Pauline Collins, what perfection, how beautiful, she already made a film that I love "The Quartet" (2012), another highlight is Franco Nero, the whole film, but it is masterful, he did among others "John Wick: A New Day to Kill" (2017), "Django Livre" (2012), "Hard to Kill 2" (1990). And another protagonist and film diva, who deserves a lot of applause is Joan Collins, who made several famous TV series in also among many others "Goodbye Die Early" (1954), "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" (2000). Pauline and Joan, despite their identical surnames, I do not think they are related, but they are English actresses and Franco Nero is Italian.

This film tells the story of a nice old woman in an unhappy marriage, who bumps into a former film star. She is coerced into a trip to France by the film star.The two women have very different personalities and very different hearts. One is nice, helpful but carries a burden in her heart. The other is a selfish and manipulative woman who will use everyone around her. Different things happen to them, and it's refreshing to have a reminder that nice things happen to nice people. The scenery is nice and the weather is beautiful too. There are many things to like about this film. It is worth a watch.

A narcissistic wooden has-been trying to drum up more work in circumstances that could hardly be less appropriate- surprising that Joan would dare this as it invites comparison with her real-life career (!)The film looks as if it has been filmed on a shoestring and could have been written by just about anybody to be frank- there was precious little wit or warmth about it. If it was meant to be about either character confronting their own demons in an escapist context, it missed the mark in profundity.Curiously a fellow viewer kept looking at their watch, and every time I saw the time on it I wondered how the film had been filling the time as little seemed to have happened.The lack of expression in Joan was a concern, confusing me as to whether it was due to senescence, plastic surgery or unabashed laziness. A missed opportunity to be sure, but I can imagine Joan eating a takeaway for less than this cost to make. When the paparazzi aren't watching, obviously.
