My Sailor, My Love

Cinematicaly beautiful. But, the story is troubling. The love story between Harold & Annie is so touching, but the daughter behaves in really problematic ways. While, it's understandable that she has issues with her childhood, taking her father's phone, continuing to throw Annie out - it's elder abuse - parental abuse. Some critics seem to chalk it up to "nuanced," but it's darker than that alone. I enjoyed the movie, but recognize that Grace's behavior is not appropriate nor should we look past it.

Wonderful photography , County Mayo Ireland , Family interaction between generations convincing and believable in relationships in later life.... Enjoyed

This movie is slowed paced, as it should be. As you get older, things don’t move quite as fast. No CGI, No Guns, No Nudity, just an honest, Heartfelt film.

People are nuanced, so the characters played by James Cosmo and Brid Brennan are layered in an under the radar film that might seem like it's going off the rails, while really being true to reality. Catherine Walker as the overbearing daughter, a love affair that should happen. What is real and what is fiction? You may not want to work that hard, but I thoroughly enjoyed Klaus Härö's journey into English language films. Final Score: 8/10

This movie wants to be great. It looks like it's great. The cinematography, location even the weather are perfection. The acting is great especially considering what they were working with. Unfortunately, the script doesn't keep pace. (Spoiler alert:) For instance; How did Howard's wife die? They simply left the story at, "She drowned". Obviously, Grace is suffering some kind of turmoil. She's in therapy. Did she drown her mother? I don't mind when a movie makes a suggestion without tying up a loose end. But the script seemed so stilted. The grand, sweeping confessions of major life events were left with "She drowned" or when Grace's husband sells their house, "That's the problem, that's always the problem, Grace". Or the sudden appearance of two far away sons and brothers who didn't realize their dad stopped drinking… there was just too much left to the imagination. Anyway, it's a great looking movie and not a horrible way to spend the evening. But this could easily have been so much better.

I thought this movie was well acted and had a very nice storyline with one exception. I kept hoping the daughter would turn around however, in the end, she totally ruined her father‘s chance of happiness, and probably shortened his life. The ending ruined the movie for me it could've ended better, that was the writers choice and I don't agree with it If it wasn't for that, I would've given it at least four stars.

extraordinary. cinematic and deeply heartfelt. gorgeous (but stark/barren) landscape and music to great effect. complex. well acted. i was crying early on from the sentimental moments and am now just awestruck. always beautiful, sometimes painful, super real. an absolute gem.

The perfect love story and so beautifully but painfully done

Outstanding movie about honest love.

Very shallow plot and unrealistic role for the daughter and unrealistic ending.
