Compliments especially to Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman, a dynamic duo. You will feel bested yourself, for watching this fine film. There is plenty of humor in the film, and an honest look at how we work out our emotional dilemmas and hang ups and eventually bring out the best in ourselves, often by being around someone else's best. This is a wonderful film and it is a great delight to watch Redford, Freeman, Lopez, Lucas and Gardner play their parts in such gorgeous scenery. The relationships in this film are realistic and intelligent, not sappy nor Hollywood glossy. Every one in the film does a good job, and you feel like you have just visited the ranch and had dinner with these characters, and you want to go back for breakfast. Appreciation and forgiveness, along with some adversity, show us that unity is still possible even given previous misunderstandings and alienation's. An Unfinished Life brings a man and a bear together to acknowledge each others strengths, and brings an unhappy, bitter man to realize that he still has an amazing family right in front of him. He gives spark to Lopezs character while being a complete gentleman. Josh Lucas plays the local sheriff, a handsome man that reminds one of the younger Robert Redford. They stay any way, and the story develops their lives as the four of them work out their differences while living on the ranch in a stunningly beautiful valley. The daughter-in-law is immediately rejected by Einar, still feeling the loss of his son and blaming her for it. Jennifer Lopez plays Jean, and her daughter, Giff, is well played by Becca Gardner. Unable to pull her own life together, Einar's daughter-in-law arrives with Einar's granddaugther in tow, needing a temporary place to stay. Their friendship carries the film through the ups and downs of life, with Mitch as the guiding light to Einar's disgruntled reality. His first duty is to take care of his best friend and long time cowboy buddy, Mitch Bradley, played by Morgan Freeman. We are treated to watch Robert Redford play a perfect curmudgeon, crusty, craggy, a rancher named Einar Gilkyson, in his 60's who has a lot to do every day.
Take yourself to the theater, then look forward to the DVD.

An Unfinished Life may be the sweetest movie you'll see this year, and certainly the most beautiful.
