Albus S Dec 21, 2018 Boxxy software makes movie watching so much easier for me. Super amazing to watch with that app. I like it.

Leia S Oct 20, 2018 Andrew Haigh is one of the most talented film directors we have today. He directed the amazing film WEEKEND (which breathed new life into gay cinema) the series LOOKING on HBO and the final movie LOOKING on HBO. I have been waiting and desperately wanting to see his film 45 YEARS for quite awhile now. 45 YEARS has finally showed up on Netflix. 45 YEARS is a quiet stunner of a film. The film reminds me of the more subtle films of the late/great Ingmar Bergman (minus the extreme close up shots) with 2 very fine performances from Tom Courtney and Charlotte Rampling. But let's be honest, its Charlotte Rampling's quietly perfect performance that's the best thing about this film. Charlotte plays a woman happily married for 45 years getting ready to celebrate her and Tom's with a huge party. An in expected letter arrives about Tom's first girlfriend who has been found dead after a fall into a fissure when her and Tim where traveling when they were in their twenties. So over the course of a week we watch a woman slowing doubtimg that the love/45 Year marriage she has been happy in may not have been the perfect union she thought it was and her husband may not have been the man she thought she knew. Delicate and bruising, it's quite a quietly moving performance. This movie does not have to stoop to histrionics or violence. No divorce. No big final gestures. What you get is a subtle yet devastating and unforgettable performance of a woman pulling away from the husband she thought she knew for 45 years. If you have Netflix. Check it out. This is a movie that stays with you and makes you think. I will probably watch it a second time to catch some of the subtleties I may have missed. Miss Rampling definitely deserved her 2016 Oscar Nomination and other nominations and awards for her unforgettable performance. BTW: If you remember the young extremely beautiful Charlotte Rampling ...she still looks amazing! See more

Ron S Oct 6, 2018 Frustrating and emotionally unrewarding 45 Years feels like a wasted opportunity given it's talented cast and director.

Ron W Sep 23, 2018 The complexities of relationships is well shown, but long term commitment can also be a beautiful thing.

Theodore R Apr 25, 2018 This is a slight concept but a brilliant and incredibly believable story. What can you say about Courtenay and Rampling? You 100% accept them as a long married couple and 100% understand their difficulties, love and frustrations. Powerful and really captivating, this is a fantastic little film. 'Weekend' showed promise but this is something else, Andrew Haigh could become a really great Director. See more

Abraham R Apr 10, 2018 Be patient. It is perfect.
