It's so rare these days to find a film with real acting, instead of cartoon-like characters. Richard Dreyfuss is at his best here, and watching he and Blythe Tanner put on an acting clinic is a real treat. The setting is simple, but breathtaking - a lighthouse, a cottage, and a beach. It could easily be adapted to the stage, but benefits from fine cinematography. In contrast to the usual fare of fast paced pyrotechnics and CGI, this gentle story rolls out at a sedate pace, peeling away the outer layers of the characters to reveal what makes them tick. I loved this movie. I wish more were made like it.
