The surprise twist brutally defies the opening narration and plot logic that preceded it, alienating viewers who willingly suspended disbelief.
Full reviewA Christmas time romance about late-life love starring screen greats Martin Landau (North by Northwest, Ed Wood) and Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist, The Last Picture Show).
Lonely old Robert (Landau) lives alone and sticks to a routine that includes a job bagging groceries at the local supermarket. One night he comes home and finds a stranger (Burstyn) in his living room. What begins as an odd and awkward encounter soon turns to romance.
The debut film from writer/director Nicholas Fackler, Lovely, Still features original music by Conor Oberst and a score by Nate Walcott and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes.
