About this movie

After the death of his wife, Max retreats to The Cedars, a house by the sea where he spent his childhood summers. Re-acquainting himself with places past provokes a cathartic reflection as the present draws out powerful memories from one fateful summer many years ago — memories of innocent joy and uplifting warmth, but also of profound tragedy. Based on the 2005 Booker Prize-winning novel by John Banville.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this film, it's very well done from start to finish. The music at the ending was beautiful and haunting, especially the violin. If your a little older you'll probably get this film, the memories of youth being fancy free, happiness, suffering, losing friends & loved ones along the way, etc. have a way of making you feel numb inside, but we shore ourselves up and life goes on.
