Last Chance Harvey

Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson

Here we get to watch two old pros take on a script entirely constructed of cliches and make it work. Harvey comes across as something of a loser but the redemptive powers of a good woman bring him back to life. The magic here is that these two players make us believe, in spite of all the many roles we've seen them play, in their characters.

Set in a sunny London(!), this was sweet and satisfying.
