An Unfinished Life

Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Year: 2005
Stars: Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez, Morgan Freeman, Becca Gardner

This is a pretty standard example of a Hollywood drama. There's nothing wrong with it, there's just nothing really very special about it either.

The story focuses on Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) and her daughter. In order to get away from her abusive boyfriend, they head out to Wyoming and her stepfather's ranch, who still blames Jean for his son's death.

If you can't guess the ending of this film, you've not watched enough Hollywood dramas - in which case you'll probably quite enjoy this. It's not overly sickening, just a bit predictable. Overall, pretty standard fare.

Rating: 3 out of 5

About Me

My photo
I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
