Loved this movie! It's such a great departure to the age of a good romantic story. No need for action and spectacular scenery. Just a great story told with a classic sound track. I couldn't have imagine I would have enjoyed a Woody Allen movie this much! I've like some of his stuff in the past, but I would say this is his best. It's his classic NY, NY setting, but not his real dark mood story telling. It's just the right amount of moody self reflection that gives you hope of a truly meaningful loving relationship.

Elle Fanning was terrific, such a great performance. Although, Selena Gomez roles wasn't huge, her performance made me think again about her as an actress. Timothée Chalamet was charming. He seemed to channel Woody Allen in a way that was a better version of Woody Allen.

My honey rented this movie and I had very low expectations. The movie started off with me expecting a story about a spoiled rich kid. It quickly transformed into a story about the struggles of young lost girl who returned home to a drunken mother. Still I thought, what a rich spoiled brat, but then she took a job caring for a retired sheriff with Alzheimer's. Her transformation and the story of a man trying to remember his past sucked you in!

Maggie Grace does a phenomenal job in her role. It's quite a true performance and shows her true abilities! Above and beyond Taken. Hal Holbrok at 85 years old put's in a great performance. His skill sucks you in and you really feel his plight!

The final message at the end, was trans-formative and compelling! I give this movie 9 out of 10 stars!
