Last Chance Harvey



I doubt I would ever enjoy this movie if I were ten years younger, but, alas, after harboring enough life's experience, regret, and disappointment, "Last Chance Harvey" suddenly becomes a movie I can appreciate. And what a performance Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman gave (especially Thompson)! Like the protagonists, I felt dark and moody when the movie started, but when it end, I felt lifted and cheerful even though the future is still uncertain. After all, don't we all need a second chance sometime?

P.S. I always know Emma Thompson is a good actress, but her performance in this film is so good it totally surprises me. Now she tops my favorite actress list.
