Our take

Set in modern London, this picaresque comedy about aging is as joyful and witty as its two lead characters, played by William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini. Directed by Julie Gravas (daughter of Greek auteur Costa-Gavras!), Late Bloomers is a “coming-of-old-age” gem that will leave you smiling.
