Based on true events and laced with wry humor, STILL MINE tells the heartfelt tale of Craig Morrison (Academy Award (R) nominee Cromwell), who comes up against the system when he sets out to build a more suitable house for his ailing wife Irene (Academy Award (R) nominee Geneviève Bujold). Although Morrison uses the same methods his father, an accomplished shipbuilder, taught him, times have changed. He quickly gets blindsided by local building codes and bureaucratic officials. As Irene becomes increasingly ill - and amidst a series of stop-work orders - Craig races to finish the house. Hauled into court and facing jail, Craig takes a final stance against all odds in a truly inspirational story. (c) Samuel Goldwyn

Critic Reviews
-
Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail
Still Mine is a measured but considerably moving celebration of things hand-crafted, traditional and built to last.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Quietly observes a love tested by infirmity and bureaucracy, becoming all the stronger for it.
-
Jim Schembri, 3AW
It's a measured, heart-felt piece...that warmly invites you to wonder over how richly symbolic the building of a house in a movie can be.
-
David 'Mad Dog' Bradley, Rip It Up
And while there are suggestions that it might get into darker territory, like Sarah Polley's Away From Her, this is more about how hard it can be to love someone for such a long time - and what it's like to be as stubborn as a damn mule.
-
Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
A David and Goliath story of the geriatric set, Still Mine is a sentimental but thanks to James Cromwell's performance an engaging story of love, devotion and determination
