Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired handyman and last trusted fr...( read more  read more... )iend, Mitch, who was gravely injured in an encounter with a grizzly bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude...until the very person he blames for his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean. Jean shows up broke, on the run with a girl named Griff, who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11 year-old Griff's curiosity about Western life, and her longing for a family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart - opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.

A masterpiece.

    A carefully but not brilliantly crafted kind of western that draws the viewer in and shows him exactly what it promises. It succeeds on that level but does not demonstrate any ingenuity or flourish with any profound cinematic moments.

    An emotional storyline though the outcome is pretty obvious.

    My favourite line was probably: "Einar, would you bury me next to Griffin?" "Don't you think you ought to die first!"

    A very enjoyable watch and possibly one that I would watch again.

    This movie was actually pretty interesting. Mitch (Morgan Freeman's character) had the most positive attitude after all he had been through, and it was very inspiring.

    Sticazzi, mi è piaciuto lo stesso.

    This movie is is so impressive. It makes us see how the lost of a child feels like. Morgan Freeman was great in An Unfinished Life, just like Robert Redford. Even Jennifer Lopez did an incredible job, something I didn't expect at all. And Becca Gardner (Griff), wow! She's an extr...( read more)emely talented girl.

    I did like the movie. Of course Morgan Freeman had a good performance and also the other actors were acceptable. The make-up artist could have done better on Lopez though ;) Well but I have to admit that after the movie I had the impression of "that's it? That's not so much". But...( read more) still worth a look although not extraordinary.
