A film with very successful performances, primarily relying on the acting of the older generation. Jim Broadbent and Charlotte Rampling deliver excellent performances, with Jim Broadbent especially showcasing what a capable actor he is, deserving of every role because he always gives his all. This is also true for this interesting drama. ()
