WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Wealthy philanthropist Francis (Gere), still mourning over the death of his friends that he inadvertently caused, attempts to reconnect with their grown daughter Olivia (Fanning) and her husband Luke (James), who are expecting their first child. However, when Francis starts to spend too much time with them, the relationship becomes soured and everything that Francis has left to care for crumbles around him…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Richard Gere is heavily moving as a man trying to hold onto his last ray of happiness, while Dakota Fanning – a sorely underused actress as of late – also gets a chance to shine in this uplifting and poignant drama.
