Genres & Description

Comedy Drama Romance

6.5 / 10

Lee Hayden is a veteran actor of Westerns whose career's best years are behind him after his one really great film, "The Hero". Now, scraping by with voice-overs for commercials, Lee learns that he has a terminal prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Unable to bring himself to tell anyone about it, especially his estranged family, Lee can only brood alone as troubling, yet inspiring, dreams haunt him. Things change when he meets Charlotte Dylan, a stand-up comedienne who becomes a lover who inadvertently jump-starts his public profile. Now facing a profound emotional conflict of having a potential career comeback, even as his imminent death is staring him in the face, Lee must finally come to terms with both realities when he finally confesses his situation to the one person he can.

Just watched it. And really like it. Sam Elliott gives one of the best performances of the year (and should have been nominated for the Oscars in my opinion). The chemistry between Sam Elliott and Laura Prepon was surprisingly convincing and a particular highlight for me as both actors gave a great performance. The script is a little spotty and at times contrived, but I did'nt mind it much as the movie overall was pleasant to watch. Some of the performances of the other characters (his former wife and his daughter) felt disconnected with Sam Elliott's character, but their roles were limited in the movie. In the end, I would recommend watch this movie. It was one of my favorite movies from 2017 over the likes of Dunkirk and Three Billboards. - @Wednesday, March 28, 2018 7:04 AM

I think Laura Prepon is made only for Taylor Schilling - @Wednesday, September 27, 2017 4:31 PM

I swear, Sam Elliot's voice is basically like driveway gravel soaked in cognac. Legend says that he once seduced the Dallas Cowboys on a whim. He said, "Thanks, just checking." Then he walked off into the sunset muttering something about the cheerleaders being pretty good sports. - @Saturday, September 9, 2017 12:52 AM

Looks like a good movie and Sam Elliott is fantastic but I won't support anything with a $cientologist. So I won't be able to watch because Laura Prepon is in it :( - @Friday, May 5, 2017 2:14 PM
