Jennifer Lopez plays Jean, and her daughter, Giff, is well played by Becca Gardner. Unable to pull her own life together, Einar's daughter-in-law arrives with Einar's granddaugther in tow, needing a temporary place to stay. Their friendship carries the film through the ups and downs of life, with Mitch as the guiding light to Einar's disgruntled reality. His first duty is to take care of his best friend and long time cowboy buddy, Mitch Bradley, played by Morgan Freeman. We are treated to watch Robert Redford play a perfect curmudgeon, crusty, craggy, a rancher named Einar Gilkyson, in his 60's who has a lot to do every day. Take yourself to the theater, then look forward to the DVD. Redford is just outstanding and his performance deserves to be rewarded.Īn Unfinished Life may be the sweetest movie you'll see this year, and certainly the most beautiful. Director Lasse Hallström isn't bringing any flash to this and it can seem slow for some. This is an emotionally deep movie with great subtle performances from everybody to match. She's a good actress in the right project. I get why some people dismiss Lopez but she does a really good job in this one. I don't know what happened to the distribution but I certainly don't remember this movie being released. Crane Curtis (Josh Lucas) is the sheriff in town who falls for Jean. Both Einar and Mitch must come to terms with the past. Einar is taking care of injured Mitch Bradley (Morgan Freeman) from a bear attack. She has no where else to turn to except for her estranged former father-in-law Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) who still blames her for the death of his son. Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) is on the run with her daughter Griff (Becca Gardner) from her abusive boyfriend Gary Winston (Damian Lewis). Give yourself a treat and enjoy Redford in the comeback film of his career. It doesn't pack the punch of "Million Dollar Baby", a film which it's bound to recall because of the Freeman's character dynamics. It's a quiet movie, full of lovely vistas and some intense drama. The drama unfolds quite nicely and our hearts are touched along the way. Things are bound to change with the arrival of his daughter-in-law and the granddaughter he never knew existed. The only redeeming moment arising from the relationship with his best friend. Without a way to release himself, he has managed to create a pretty miserable existence for himself. People carry grudges and live with demons for many years some are unable to even get rid of them. With the very capable support of Morgan Freeman, a quite good Jennifer Lopez, and masterful work by Robert Redford, we're treated to a special film, a study of family relationships where things don't appear contrived or staged. Some films are able to capture subtleties in a pretty straightforward manner, and this is one of them. Title (Brazil): "Um Lugar para Recomeçar" ("A Place to Restart") Although being a predictable story without any twist, this sensitive movie is highly recommended. Josh Lucas is a great support actor and the favorable surprise is the performance of the young and unknown Becca Gardner. The cast has amazing performances, showing the importance of a director of the weight of Lasse Halltröm: Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman are unanimity, but I myself like a lot the versatile Jennifer Lopez and strongly believe that even the viewer that dislike her as actress must admit her excellent performance in this touching film. "An Unfinished Life" is a beautiful tale of forgiveness, with the lead characters healing their wounds Mitch, the ones provoked by a savage bear, and Einar his innermost feelings of loss. While Mitch heals his wounds and forgives the bear, Einar also changes his feelings regarding Jean, finally understanding that accidents happen and accepting her and loving his grand-daughter. Einar is taking care of his friend Mitch Bradley (Morgan Freeman), who was attacked and seriously wounded by a bear, and he does not know that he has a grand-daughter. Jean and Einar are disaffected, since he blames her for the death of his beloved son in a car accident. In order to escape from the abusive boy-friend Gary Winston (Damian Lewis), Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) moves with her young daughter Griff Gilkyson (Becca Gardner) without previous notice to the ranch of her father-in-law Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) in Wyoming.
