Love is Strange (2014)

    This was a tender, low-key and rather bittersweet film with excellent performances, particularly from Alfred Molina.

    What is notable is that Lithgow and Molina are such a convincing couple, but they share so little screen time together. Also, they behave differently around other characters than they do around one another. Lithgow is reserved around his extended family, but gregarious when he's with Molina (as in the scene where he bluffs a bartender into giving him a free drink by pretending to be an old-school gay rights activist).

    I also liked how it bucked the trend of gay people being extreme liberals by Alfred Molina's character remaining a practising Christian, even after he is let go from his job as a teacher in a Catholic school.

    It reminded me, in its view of an older same-sex couple, of Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right, but was probably better, as it lacked the borderline-offensive 'all lesbians need is a good stiff d*ck' undertone that film had.

    With this and Whiplash, Sony Pictures Classic have been on form recently.
