This was a beautiful but sad movie. Acting by all was wonderful. Depiction of the cold, snowy north was very good. Sensitive, lyrical, dignified.
A few things I didn't like. Jumping around in time is the fad now in movies. All it did here was create confusion. The ending was also confusing and ambiguous.
But beyond these things, the movie created a tremendous feeling, like great art can. And this was great art.
Some have commented that this movie did now show Alzheimer's disease in the way it really is. I think we have to give a movie some latitude, as there is only a limited time to a movie. I think, though, the tragic effect on the victim of the disease and their family is well shown, and we the audience feel it also.
