User Reviews

Late Bloomers, a comedy-drama about an aged couple who have different reactions to their aging is redeemed almost solely by its central performances by William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini. They give the film a boost it otherwise doesn't deserve. Gavras' ideas on aging are both typical and odd. The film is also weighed down by an all to lively trumpet filled score by Sodi Marciszewer that is definitely not suited to the film's tone. Overall, though, Late Bloomers is pretty much painless.
