Give yourself a treat and enjoy Redford in the comeback film of his career. It doesn't pack the punch of "Million Dollar Baby", a film which it's bound to recall because of the Freeman's character dynamics. ![]() It's a quiet movie, full of lovely vistas and some intense drama.

Some films are able to capture subtleties in a pretty straightforward manner, and this is one of them. Title (Brazil): "Um Lugar para Recomeçar" ("A Place to Restart") Although being a predictable story without any twist, this sensitive movie is highly recommended. Josh Lucas is a great support actor and the favorable surprise is the performance of the young and unknown Becca Gardner. The cast has amazing performances, showing the importance of a director of the weight of Lasse Halltröm: Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman are unanimity, but I myself like a lot the versatile Jennifer Lopez and strongly believe that even the viewer that dislike her as actress must admit her excellent performance in this touching film. "An Unfinished Life" is a beautiful tale of forgiveness, with the lead characters healing their wounds Mitch, the ones provoked by a savage bear, and Einar his innermost feelings of loss.
