    I have seen the movie yesterday, broadcasted on a Belgian broadcaster, although I am Dutch. Unbelievable people rate this movie to the tomatoes. I have enjoyed it so much by great acting by Brian Cox. It is not typical American acting and love the humour, typical Scottish. Europe down to earth and its values in a beautiful scenery. And just illustrating normal life where status does not define happiness. Cried , thinking about my own father, who I ❤️ and miss so much of his unexpected death in 2017. I was just married one year and 4 days with the ❤️ of my live, my beautiful lovely Iranian wife. Great cast and what a good looking lady, Rosette Arquette...

    Heel luchtige familie film, waarin het trieste van het leven. Met een glimlach woedt gespeeld.

    Some might say it's predictable but I don't care. It has beautiful scenery, very likeable and pleasant characters, and a sweet storyline that held my interest to the end (some of you might need a tissue occasionally.) I was never on the edge of my seat, no vulgarity but it is appropriately rated for adults, and there was no blood or gore, and no high-speed chases, just a great movie from which I felt rightly entertained at the end of the credits, because the story continues through the credits for just a bit. Well done!!

    A hidden jewel with a minimum of reviews. Thought provoking story about family. Well acted by all. Available on Kanopy streaming.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and Brian Cox really does speak Gaelic. It is about death and family. Great scenery too.

    I really enjoyed this film, as a Scot watching the older dad/grandad not mincing his words (as it were) in America. Its about a serious subject, seeking treatment for cancer but the film is mostly quite light hearted and amusing. I enjoyed the various interactions he had with American locals and how they responded/reacted to him. It was also funny seeing how his relatives reacted to his inability to speak his mind at times!. I liked the depictions of rural Hebridean Scotland and the film itself was quite amusing and a very enjoyable watch overall. Its a somewhat poignant and thought provoking film, perhaps even a feel good film in a sense which I really enjoyed and so I'd happily recommend it, yes.
