Mmm, well what can one say to such an extraordinary movie, and, for me one that touches on so many levels. I am a septuagenarian ( age 74 ) and an Emeritus ( retired ) Professor of Early Medieval History - Oxford University UK. My wife, of thirty eight years passed away ten years ago, this month - and you don`t forget !!!!! Since then, I have lived alone in a house full of books, and memories - and I have learnt to be content with that, and accepting of the loss, the space that cannot be filled, the voice and the laughter forever fled. Reel Vision Movies, thank you for uploading this - I am not, in anyway a movie buff, but so pleased that I noticed this one - thank you :)

I hope you have friends or family around to socialise with. I'd 40 years of marriage - joined at the heart. Now, 13 years, home alone. The loud silence continues. Plus, my family has since moved away, abroad. We were so very close...it's different. I am grateful for technology letting me be with them, albeit from a distance.

Oh my goodness..had me in tears..I was the 'Pauline'.My dearest friend and mentor, John Henderson and his labrador Sophie found their way to my tea garden.I found out that his precious wife died 5 years earlier of cancer. I promised myself every time he visited I would sit with him in the garden sharing a cup of tea even though I was very busy .I would drive out and take him meals when he was ill.John passed away in my families home at the age of 84 due to cancer and I was blessed to have his precious Sophie which was his request in his will.John did not have any children,Sophie was his life. Thank you for enriching my life John,your love,wisdom ,humour,and our priceless times spent together ..

How very kind and considerate you were to John - I feel quite certain that he was much appreciative of it. As I have mentioned in other replies, I was extremely fortunate, that I had some very supportive members of faculty, together with a few surprisingly kind, sweet and concerned students who collectively helped me through the initial highly emotional first year or so of grief. That strength that one receives from compassionate people at such a time, can never be underestimated, undervalued or underappreciated. I am quite sure John felt the same :)

At 17 when I was sent away to the US, she stayed behind. Didn't see her alive again. She passed 8 years later. I've had many dear friends leave. My marriage ended some 20 years ago. My son stayed with his mother. Lost both my wife and son. Never married again. Living life in oblivion. Just biding time. I don't want to say goodbye to anyone anymore.

Considering Mathew is depicted as an octogenarian, it seemed extremely unlikely to me, that he would be able to step into, and out of a bobbing, moving row boat without potentially tipping over the side !!!!! Sensibly, the film director chose not to put Michael Caine`s life at risk - and used a stand in for the long lens shot - I only mention this, as my own balance, at age 74 would be equally fraught with peril :)

This was a great story. I fell in love with Paris the first time I visited when I was 26, in 1985. Although I'm an American, I felt more at home in Paris than I ever did anywhere in the U.S. It felt like coming home to me. I stayed in a pension on the 8th floor -- all those stairs! I had the room that Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald stayed in for two years in the Latin Quarter. So I like to watch movies set in Paris. I fell in love there with an artist from Cairo who I met at the Louvre. This comes closer to the Paris I knew back then, more than all the other films put together. I returned to Paris in 2006, when I was 53. It was so different. There had been so much terrorism that gendarmes marched in squads with AK-47s under the Eiffel Tower, and there weren't any trash cans, so nobody could plant a bomb in one. All the joie-de-vivre that I had loved so much was gone. This was a sad story, but it was also about redemption between a father and son, and it was a love story. Maybe that's why it moved me so much. It reminded me of an older gentlemen who I spent time with while I was a college student, and that made it possible for me to understand how this beautiful young woman was drawn to him. I was so taken with the acting of Michael Caine and Michelle Goddet, that I wasn't prepared to be blown away by the incredible acting of Justin Kirk, who played Morgan's son Miles, as he grieves for his mother, and connects with his father. Beautiful settings, great cast, moving story with characters who grow and develop. It has all the characteristics that make a movie great, and the universal appeal of a story that everyone can learn from.

@@E-Kat We stayed in touch for a few years. He was planning to visit me in the U.S., but that summer the dollar got really strong, and made it impossible. Many French people who usually made an annual trip to the U.S. were not able to make it that year. I earned my master's degree to teach English, and had a baby as a single mother, moved to LA and started teaching. Then I went to teach English in Japan, and when I returned my address book was stolen, and I lost touch with him then, along with many other friends in Japan. This was before cellphones. At least this is the timeline that I think I remember.

Oh what a beautiful, heart touching film. I spent a cherished part of my childhood in France with my Mother and Father. (Both now deceased) I returned to France for good, fifteen years ago and with this film I walked through familiar Parisian streets and along the Seine again. I am temporarily in Alsace at the moment, but Paris will always be my favorite city in the whole world, and just this morning as I strolled through a Sunday Antique market, in spirit I was back in Nice strolling through the Sunday Marketplace in "old town". An unforgetable Sunday for me. We still dream and remember even in our eighties...

I am glad that all worked out for them in the end. Loneliness and sadness are hard to deal with, so I am so thankful to have Jesus in my life to lean on in times of sadness or trouble and for guidance. I just hope that all who are lonely or sad for what ever reason, will in times of these difficulties will, like me call out to God and ask Him to help you and I know He will answer you like He did me and I have lived a much better life since. I hope you all do too.

Great movie. Michael Caine stared in 1966 as "Alfie" a young self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior and ends with Mr. Morgan in 2013 a old self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior . Ironic?

This was a wonderful movie. Life can be hard regardless of one’s circumstances. I hope that Matthew’s son and Pauline found love and raised his son and more children of their own at that beautiful home by the beach. Matthew wasn’t the bad father he thought he was. He loved his wife so much she was his world, he didn’t want to live after she died. Not so very much different than when my grandmother died of a broken heart within six months of my grandfather’s death. He died from a heart attack and she didn’t want to live anymore just like Matthew.

Masterful little touches like him being motivated to unstick his famous French windows and let in the sun in the air after just a little bit of kindness from a stranger just goes to show how much little connections really matter! I consider myself to be widowed since 2009, 13 years at this writing, from the man I expected to marry and be my future, and I felt somewhat Frozen ever since his passing even though we were only together two years and never married...... Some of my dreams for a sane future went with his passing and I feel like an empty shell sometimes looking for meaning in so many people and places and things and activities that I do seek out, but it's so hard to find depth...😢

I didn’t know how to say good bye to my Bob. He kept staying around for me. He knew I didn’t want him to leave me, he had cancer. He stayed around for me. My girlfriend said u have to let him go. The hospice nurses could not figure out why he was still alive. I finally realized after my girlfriend told me to tell him it was ok, I would be ok. The next morning he was gone. He had stage four cancer for 4 years. I tell him at night how sorry I am for having him hang on so long. I didn’t know. I know he forgives me. It’s very hard to forgive your own self.

I don't know if anyone has watched "Daisies in December", but it's well worth watching, if you liked this movie. I'm widowed...will be 30 years this December since my dear, sweet, precious husband left this earth...he was just 51 years old...seems like yesterday, some days, like another lifetime ago, other days. I miss him terribly & our only child too...an almost 8-month old baby daughter. I've felt like ending it all & tried a couple times, years ago now, but it didn't work out, so I'm still here...I do truly feel like I was left with nothing...life goes on for those of us left behind, but our broken hearts still bid for that safe place to cry & scream & dance alone in our dreams... It was supposed to be "minus one day" for me...I prayed for that so hard...they were my world, my life... Blessings to all who find themselves here🙏♥

Thoughtful film, well acted and serene. Not for young or middle aged. When one experiences a big loss when comparatively young, one still might recover and find joy in life. Old age is different. A loss puts a burden on already frailing shoulders , when family is independent, one loses the purpose of life. Suicide leaves that guilt on family, if any behind, but everyone is different and copes as one can.

I suppose you didn't loose anyone to a crippling disese: it's their suffering against yours, so who's to tell what's selfish? In four years of taking care of my mother I've realised that I have to let go: it's not my life, it's hers and all I can do (except food, medication and fulfilling her needs) is to be there and do my best to soothe her. I'm hearing "I want to die" ten times a day, and I used to tell her to stop saying that. Then I understood that I'm equally selfish for stopping her to express her feelings. So yeah, WE ARE ALL SELFISH- if we're really honest with ourselves.

An excellent film. But too near the mark for me and choked me up. I'm the same age as Michael Caine and have been told I resemble him in appearance so the film was like watching myself. My first wife died of cancer in 1982 after twenty-five years of marriage and it devastated me. After five years I finally got it together and found my present wife, sixteen years younger than me, and have lived in Thailand for thirty-seven years. She is recovering from cancer treatment. -" You must learn the language." "But I have you." My children do visit me occasionally. I love them.
