Cloudburst (2011)

After her granddaughter tricks her into signing over power of attorney and commits her to a senior home, Brenda Fricker’s long-time partner Olympia Dukakis sneaks her out of the home and they run off to Canada to get married. I hated the beginning and end of this film. The granddaughter’s activities in the first part are so over the top evil that it is next to impossible to understand why Fricker would have kept her in her life for long. The ending took an undeserved turn. But the middle part is so wonderful that I’d easily watch the film again. Dukakis and Fricker make a beautiful mismatched couple with love and mutual affection shining between them.
