Melancholic meditation on mourning and loss. Firth is superb as a depressed English professor living in 1960's America dealing with the death of his long time partner. It's a performance where his portrayal of numbness and profound isolation immediately hooks you in.I also enjoyed the subtle shifts in cinematography to convey the past, memories and mood changes. Lastly, there is redemption of a kind, but it's a bitter sweet one.
Verdict: Firth's film.
