Based on a novel (written by the same author as The Hours), this film stars Vanessa Redgrave (and Claire Danes as her younger self) as an elderly woman who looks back on specific events that happened in her youth — centering on the wedding of her best friend in the 1950s. Tries a little too hard to be important, and some of the plot devices feel wooden, but still relatively entertaining in an “I saw this with my mother” sort of way. The 1950s costuming is nice.
