2/4

It has a great many shots of trees, leaves and insects and some story gaps.

2/5

There is recognizable pain throughout Ledes' film. Yet it never pushes through to anything beyond a surface portrait.

2.5/4

This carefully observed slice of life is dragged down by the dreary and distracting hand-held camerawork.

A warm-hearted, tender portrait that avoids artifice.

Fred Won't Move Out --- could have been called This Stupid Movie Won't End. {Horrible.}

A very slow moving but real flick on life with an Alzheimer's wife and old stubborn husband. Depressing, cold and not very entertaining.

Ugh! The positive reviews you read from critics must be for another film. This film was dreary from its hand-held camera work, to its numerous shots of trees, flowers & insects. The script is poor and it must have been adapted from a play. But it is boring and lifeless. Stay away and go to your dentist instead. You will "enjoy" that more.
