Against all the odds, the venerable lady "decides" to hang around for a while - The director chronicles this uncertain and mysterious time in this luminous film on tenderness as a possible source of youth and full of an innocence regained every day.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
