synopsis
Married for almost 50 years, Grant’s and Fiona’s commitment to each other appears unwavering. Their daily life is filled with tenderness and humor; yet this serenity is broken by Fiona’s increasingly evident memory loss--and her restrained references to a past betrayal. For a while, the couple is able to casually dismiss these unwelcome changes. But when neither Fiona nor her husband can deny any longer that she is being consumed by Alzheimer’s disease, the couple is forced to wrenchingly redefine the limits of their love and loyalty--and face the complex, inevitable transition from lovers to strangers.
Other reviews
Spare and poignantly bittersweet, Sarah Polley's wrenching romantic drama Away From Her delves into the painful effects of Alzheimer's disease. Story Former mythology professor Grant (Gordon Pinsent) has been in love with--and married to--gorgeous, spirited Fiona (a radiant Julie Christie) for more than 40 years. After some turbulence earlier in their marriage (Grant wasn't always as faithful as he is now), they've spent the last two decades in their own private haven, a rustic Canadian cottage
