slow start but the pace does pick up , there are some nice touches and the characters do stir emotion and feeling
travolta uses his skills well to say few words bt the long silences speak volumes if ur willing to listen!
.i guess he is using his own experience of loosing a son to convey the mood that would accompany such a tragic process for a parent and child
.plummer also plays his part as the long suffering yet slightly irreverent father to travolta
.tye sheridan is also well capable in his role as Will ,conveying adolescence and a heavy burden. Jennifer Ehle plays her character brilliantly as a disconnected drug addict mother reluctant to resolve her past. The film is also sensitive to the beauty of art and at the same time i guess the suffering that has accompanied some real artists whom have left us with a moment in history
The recipe of differing themes is well portrayed and nicely and sensitively edited
.as long as expectations are kept reasonable, as no mind blowing car chases occur or fantasy special effects
then this film is worth your time imo and may even stimulate a tear or two and the ending although fairly predicable is a nice conclusion and not over cooked
im sure but could be wrong that this Monet was or is in the cardiff museum in wales ?
