About this movie

Two high school sweethearts run into each other in a grocery store parking lot after 20 years. Amanda is married with two kids, and Jim is in town to take care of his recently deceased mother’s estate. What begins as just a cup of coffee turns into a day of rediscovering the town they grew up in and sharing stories. As the day progresses, they stop feeling like strangers and rediscover the old familiar feeling they had when they were each other’s everything – as well as a big secret from their past.

Ratings and reviews

I'm giving it one star because it's PG and there were numerous f words in it. What the hell? You do not put multiple in a PG rated movie. I've never seen that in my life.

A beautiful little film, and of a kind that one doesn't get to see much of these days. The writing was very good - realistic and consistently authentic. A moving, touching story. Paulson and Duplass's acting was superb. The revelation at the end of the film explained what we might have imagined, but was kept hidden in a way that gave the story an emotional gravity -- of lives unexpectedly, perhaps unnecessarily, changed. Bravo to everyone involved in such a fine work of art.

Très bon film, nostalgique, romantique avec une histoire intéressante en trame de fond. À voir absolument. Vous craquerez pour l'excellent jeux des acteurs. Que d'émotions... Un film sur le véritable amour.
