Critic Reviews for Bright Days Ahead
All Critics (22) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (19) | Rotten (3)
We've seen variations on the character before. But Fanny Ardant's performance as the straitlaced wife ... is insightful and note-perfect.
Ardant might wrestle with alienation, but Bright Days Ahead never risks alienating its self-satisfied target audience.
"Bright Days Ahead" offers an interesting twist on the May-December romance.
The well-observed script touches on a number of everyday issues about the aging process - whether you're pushing 40 or passing 60 - that add a tender and enlightening layer to this engaging, leisurely paced film.
Struggling to get out from under the film's too-cheery surface is a much more serious movie about grown-ups confronting the depredations of old age.
It's refreshing to see an optimistic story about an older woman who is funny, smart, and desirable, even if her happy life doesn't leave much room for conflict.
