Last Love (2013)
6/10
A soppy, above average drama
28 November 2013
One obviously wonders why Michael Caine is still making films at this point in his career. The answer, I would guess, is the very legitimate fear that he might die when he stops working, as is known to occur for some of us. I think a lot of actors come to this realization, and the revelation leads to a greater dimension in their acting.

"Mr. Morgan's Last Love" (or "Last Love" as this is being distributed in some countries) is a fairly predictable but somewhat heavy drama about a subject which I've always felt was underrepresented: old age and death.

Michael Caine is Michael Caine. The lead actress is, obviously, stunningly beautiful. The storyline is, as I said, predictable but does touch on some heavy issues such as depression.

I think dramas are actually the hardest kind of film to make, and this isn't a bad one.
