Rey W Mar 20, 2019 Daisy is a caricature of those people we all grew up around that could never be wrong (heck, we try to push this as okay behavior for 50% of the population even today) but that if you word things the right way you can have a loving relationship with them. Working with such a person is a constant struggle of word games and oftentimes lying to make them comfortable, and it can be pretty frustrating. It's a cute little movie that shows in a way that even when we are old we can still change, even if it's only a little. Now, is would I nominate it for Best Picture? Nope, not sure why that happened... Both characters probably deserved nominations for their performances though, as they exuded their characters perfectly, and I would watch this again without complaint. See more

Abraham L Feb 2, 2019 A heartwarming tale of unlikely friendship, the performances are what carry the movie, although it also has a good score, good costume design, and good cinematography. See more

George S Jan 26, 2019 One of the best movies

Jan 4, 2019 Everyday life of a retired schoolteacher changes when her son forces a driver on her to take her whenever she needs to go somewhere. Brilliantly portrayed by Freeman and Tandy, it is a relatively sweet story (with a dash of bitter here and there) about life and friendship in the last decades of life. See more

Anakin R Dec 29, 2018 Huge Oscar-winner back in 1989 and one of the most known films of the beloved actor Morgan Freeman. He is Hoke here, Daisy's driver. She is getting older and can't drive for herself anymore. Boolie, her son, makes sure Hoke get's payed as he works as her driver, but most importantly her friend in thick and thin. This is an all right film. The story is nice and sweet, the acting is great and the production is typical. It's no big surpizes here and the A-rating makes it a bit flat and easy to predict. It has not held up that greatly and it does not stand out for me. OK film, but way too safe. 6 out of 10 can's of salmon. See more

Leia S Dec 5, 2018 Light, charming, and complex enough to keep one interested and entertained throughout, this stage-to-screen adaptation shrugs off the usual hazards of overlong conversations in the same place in favor of comfortably paced, and filmicly minded, character study. See more
