Addie Moore and Louis Waters, a widow and widower, have lived next door to each other for years. When Addie tries to make a connection with her neighbor, the two begin sleeping in bed together platonically, with the innocent goal of alleviating their shared loneliness. As their relationship deepens, however, they each deal with grief and loss, and a real romance begins to blossom.

Critics Consensus

Our Souls at Night honors the quiet strength of its source material by offering a simple yet sturdy canvas for two talented veteran leads to bring its story to life.

Anthony Lane

The New Yorker

Much of this is too hokey by half, yet the two leading actors, their skills unfaded, command your attention to the end.

The screenplay unfolds in unhurried fashion, allowing us to spend quality time with two highly watchable movie stars. This is the allure of Our Souls at Night and anyone who thinks of that as a pleasurable experience will not be disappointed

Chicago Sun-Times

These are good people, and these are great actors portraying these good people, and if you not rooting for Louis and Addie to find comfort and love and peace with one another in their last years, then I just don't know what to tell you.

Rated: 3.5/4

For context, I’m a 76 year old man. I have watched this movie at least five times, and I’ve enjoyed it every time. If you don’t enjoy it, wait till you’re 76. It will grow on you.

Good but not great. Redford and Fonda are classic pros.

Low key, beyond subtle, almost catatonic at times, buoyed by two legends. Redford excels better than Fonda.

Sometimes the simple beauty of a loving relationship is enough to drive away the anxieties of reality. A credit to Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and all the production team.

Aaron S

A sweet movie about aging, family, and community. It's pretty "aw shucks" overall, but has a lot of heart and a lot of good gentle reminders of the reality of getting old and managing family, relationships, and your own desires. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford anchor the movie so strongly and their performances are very endearing. There's nothing truly great about Our Souls at Night and that's okay - there's more than enough space for wholesome dramas like this.
