Post-menopausal romance (it might as aptly have been titled The Grandmother) centered around a brand-new widow, a self-described "shapeless old lump," who warms up to her son's hunky, hairy handyman and her daughter's married boyfriend (one and the same man) and warms him up in turn: "I thought nobody would ever touch me again, apart from the undertaker." Crudely put, it's All That Heaven Allows meets The Graduate. Meets Lady Chatterley's Lover. Murmurous, understated Brit mundanity has been incongruously gussied up with arty, off-kilter compositions, odd croppings, and sterile Bergman-esque lighting. (Director Roger Michell, of Persuasion and Notting Hill, has somewhat overreached himself.) Adeptly acted, under crushing burdens, by Anne Reid, Daniel Craig, and Cathryn Bradshaw.
