We often believe that some things can't be done after a certain age but this movie is all about breaking those beliefs and showing that if one has enough conviction they can accomplish great things at any age.
The cast, particularly Edie herself, is full of vitality and has a spirit to her that is abnormal for people of her age. It is a joy to watch the process of her achieving the last item on her bucket list.
This is a simple and emotionally gratifying movie that celebrates life and also shows an unlikely multigenerational relationship form between Edie and a younger man who accompanies her on her mission.
The movie feels satisfying but also a bit sanitized, which is to say I felt that there could have been more interesting moments sprinkled in to make it less formulaic.
Still, there is a real charm to this movie that I think makes it a important experience.
