    Late Bloomers, a comedy-drama about an aged couple who have different reactions to their aging is redeemed almost solely by its central performances by William Hurt and Isabella Rossellini. They give the film a boost it otherwise doesn't deserve. Gavras' ideas on aging are both typical and odd. The film is also weighed down by an all to lively trumpet filled score by Sodi Marciszewer that is definitely not suited to the film's tone. Overall, though, Late Bloomers is pretty much painless.… Expand

    The protagonists of Late Bloomers have a problem, but it's not that they're getting older. Their dilemma is that they're reacting so differently to aging.

    An entertaining diversion, mostly because Rossellini and Hurt are a pair of seasoned and graceful pros who know how to work every line and every gesture, and it's great to see them playing characters who are exactly their age.
