I’ll See You In My Dreams

— Blythe Danner just doesn’t do many film roles these days making her starring role in “I’ll See You In My Dreams” even better. The film itself is a softly poignant glimpse at a woman of a certain age coming to terms with the difficulties of fulfillment and companionship. It’s not as though the film is particularly original, but it is at least realistic and filled with the right mix of laughter and sadness. Its low budget made it feel more like a play than a film, which is fine when you have actors who can sustain that mode. It’s worth seeing to catch a glimpse of the elegant and competent Danner, as well as because it’s worth encouraging films with themes favoring people over 50 instead of under 25.
