John Lithgow can do no cinematic wrong. Even though he doesn’t play an impressive historical figure, he gets to create a quietly unusual character: a prepper who stores goods in a secret room for the ultimate end. His simple existence is upended when he sees an attractive woman (Blythe Danner) and their tentative relationship begins. Of course, Danner is always a delight and this time is no exception. While there are personal demons for them to overcome, it’s really about their budding romance. The script and direction are adequate without ever being exceptional, but the film’s strength is the sweet harmony of these 2 actors and their lovely duet. (On Hulu, Amazon and iTunes)
