  With a beautiful story, great camera-work, interesting characters, and absolutely incredible acting from Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn, "Lovely, Still" is a great romance film that is initially heartwarming, but ultimately turns bitter-sweet. The characters were not as compelling as they could have been, and I felt manipulated to cry, but "Lovely, Still" is lovely, still.

  Cast: Martin Landau, Ellen Burstyn, Adam Scott, Elizabeth Banks, Mark Booker, Candice Rose, Har Mar Superstar Director: Nicholas Fackler Summary: When his beautiful new neighbor Mary (Ellen Burstyn) asks him out on a date, elderly bachelor Robert (Martin Landau) suddenly finds himself swept up in the excitement and panic of new love. But as romance blossoms between the couple, an unexpected challenge arises that threatens to undermine the fledgling relationship. My Thoughts: "Great performances by the seasoned actor's Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn. Adam Scott and Elizabeth Banks were great as well. It's a great love story that goes in a direction that I had not seen coming. The story is bittersweet, and a bit of a tear jerker. But there is no denying how wonderfully sweet these two characters are. But to say to much about this film would be giving away the beautiful story. So my final words are, see this film. I am not one for romantic films, but this one really got to me. I absolutely loved it."

  I suspected early on that there was more to the story than was being told and so was not surprised when the whole truth was revealed. It is a gentle story - one of true love and the marital vows when people really love each other and fulfill the promise to love through sickness and health. It is especially meaningful to older adults, but a film that can (and should) be enjoyed by people of all ages.

  I really struggled with this one. As my wife said, you feel like you are missing some vital piece of information all through this up until the end, and that was true for me as well. The performance by Martin Landau is nothing short of amazing. He absolutely nailed the confusion and… More
  I really struggled with this one. As my wife said, you feel like you are missing some vital piece of information all through this up until the end, and that was true for me as well. The performance by Martin Landau is nothing short of amazing. He absolutely nailed the confusion and isolation brought on by aging. But there were too many logical gaps in the story to make this a truly memorable film. Certainly not a waste of time, if you can stick with it. Ellen Burstyn is marvelous as well, but this really is Martin's film. I wanted to like this more, but to explain my reasons for only giving it three stars would mean having to give away too much of the plot. Suffice it to say a little more back story would have helped immensely.
