Review of An Unfinished Life (2005)
This is a character driven movie with solid performances from Redford, Lopez, and Freeman.Although it is not a comedy, there are many funny lines and character quirks that make you want to keep watching.Each character is on a journey of healing past wounds and is dependent on the others for guidance and insight.As with the movie ‘The Horse Whisper’ the beauty of the land is breathtaking.It is a thoughtful movie that doesn’t rush anything.I loved this movie and would recommend it if you are willing to be patient with the slow pace of the story.
