A film about mutual respect

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2019)

Rick and Cliff are friends. They are always nice to each other. They don't argue, patronize or resent each other. When we see them separately, they handle themselves well, dignified. When together, there is a tenderness that is best shown as being supportive.
This, for me is the ingredient that gives the end of the film such an uplift. Many watchers of this film have commented how they stuck with it and were rewarded by the last quarter. That could lead you to conclude that it's the final scenes that evoke the uplifting feeling I mentioned, which would be quite reductive and perverse, wouldn't it?
So it's about the beautiful friendship and how nice it is to see two people interact with each other in that unassuming, largely unspoken way.
