Injured and out of options, retired war photojournalist Ruth (Charlotte Rampling) recovers at her estranged son\u2019s house in rural New Zealand. With her son away on business, her teenage grandson, Sam (George Ferrier), becomes a reluctant caretaker, even as he grieves for his recently deceased mother. Ruth is not a model patient. She’s belligerent, condescending and frequently drunk. The two start as distrustful strangers, but their pain draws them closer. He is sensitive and obstinate, tough emotions to balance at any age, but the perfect tonic for Ruth\u2019s stubbornness. She provides the attention and blunt guidance Sam has undoubtedly lacked since his mother\u2019s death. As Ruth\u2019s stay grows longer, she learns the value of letting people in and letting go. Matthew J. Saville\u2019s touching comedy-drama about the necessity of vulnerability is fueled by Rampling\u2019s lively, vulnerable performance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
