7º – Our Souls at Night (Ritesh Batra, 2017)
A lonely elderly man’s life is completely changed when his lonely neighbor offers him an experience to put aside the figure of loneliness. Together, both will form a beautiful bond, rediscovering many of the pleasures common to existence. ‘Our Souls at Night’ is a pearl, bringing us a sweet story about the meanders of old age. The film still has nothing less than Robert Redford and Jane Fonda commanding the central characters, both with irreproachable performances.
