Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton play a couple who are ready to sell their 5th floor walkup. When they moved into the Brooklyn neighborhood 40 years ago, it was sketchy, but now it’s hot. We visit their open house (and the snotty NYC stereotypes that show up), enjoy flashbacks to earlier years, worry about their sick dog and go on their search for a new place. The duo has lots of dialogue, mostly revolving around their relationship. The film is sweet and they give agreeable performances, but they never felt really connected to each other. Still, it presents some interesting observations about aging and New York real estate. (Criterion Cinema only)
