Prickly Marie (Shirley Knight) has reluctantly settled into comfortable isolation in a retirement community, content to live a life of cantankerous indifference. Then her soon-to-be-wed granddaughter leaves a voice-mail message, disinviting her from the wedding\u2014and from her life. A humbled Marie decides to go to the wedding anyway, lacing up her hiking shoes and walking the 80-mile trip via Oregon\u2019s busy and bucolic Redwood Highway. The winding odyssey allows Marie to meet kind souls\u2014a widowed woodworker, a tavern owner\/single mother\u2014but, more importantly, to make amends for the present and settle the past. Sampling the good in the world permits Marie to open herself up to life. It doesn\u2019t have to be hard all the time. Knight\u2019s spirited and vulnerable performance is a marvel and far from the movie\u2019s only asset. Director\/cowriter Gary Lindgren\u2019s unabashed belief in the kindness of strangers and in older people\u2019s ability to keep growing creates an infectious character study that will delight everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
