Wissenswertes
In an interview he gave during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, Robert Redford talked about this comedic film being a good note to end on, since the actor wanted his "last acting job to be fun."

Patzer
Forrest is arrested in 1981 at the age of 74, which puts his birth year at 1907. But a flashback shows him as a tween breaking out of a juvenile center in 1936--when he would have been 29.

Zitate
Stephen Beckley Jr., Esquire: I remember I sat down with him once and I said, "Forrest, surely there's an easier way for somebody in your position to make a living." And he looked at me and he said, "Brother, I'm not talking about making a living. I'm just talking about... living."

Low-key comedy crime drama with a fusion of past cinematic elements

Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek, and Ben Affleck star in this low-key crime, comedy, drama. With more informal elements from Heat (1995) starring Al Pacino and Robert de Niro with an interweaving focus on both the criminal and the law enforcement characters and a relational theme reminiscent of The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep, this movie uses what seems like unnecessary experiment uses of the camera resulting in some odd off scene focuses and seems almost too slow in places with its pacing like the aging characters themselves. The strength of the movie though are its reflections on being old and the flashes of elegance as a criminal gentleman from Robert Redford. The storyline has some emotive punch and a bit of drama, yet it also becomes unnecessarily puzzling towards the end with how the criminal justice system metes out justice. The ending itself seems more of a puff ball ending that avoids the more poignant meaningful conclusion to a life of crime.
