Firth and Tucci give career best performances in this achingly sad film

You'll go and see it for the actors, but you'll stay only for the actors because that's all there really is, especially if you've already seen _The Father_ and / or _Sorry Angel_.

Oscars. Best and Best Supporting. You pick.

Um, why did i watch this again? Uh yes Colin Firth & Stanley Tucci. Anyone else going in cuz of this, walk away from this sad boring movie.

A really sad story, which cannot avoid falling into certain clichés, especially in the portrait of the characters. Two great actors give their best to build a relationship of long years, and how to face its end. Despite this, they provoke a somewhat tepid empathy, perhaps because of their social status, but also because of a narrative exposition that seems distant, that wants to avoid at all costs the dramatic effect of what it is telling.
