Still Mine

— “Still Mine” (DVD) is a good look at an aging couple dealing with the complexities of Alzheimer’s and concerned children, in a world with increasingly inflexible local regulations and codes. The husband is stubborn and stoic, remarkably capable, and hiding a strong heart. There’s something celebratory about the film in spite of the fairly realistic look at the interactions between young and old, and between tradition and progress. This is a good film and, although it probably only appeals to a small audience, it appealed to me. James Cromwell and Genevieve Bujold are both incredible.
