SUMMARY:FAMILIAR TOUCH
DESCRIPTION:Writer-director Sarah Friedland’s coming-of-old-age feature compassionately follows the winding path of octogenarian Ruth’s (Kathleen Chalfant) shifting memories and desires while remaining rooted in her sage perspective. “Ruth is merely\, momentously human: an older woman in need\, but no less expressive of life’s fullness because of it. It’s a portrayal to remember\, for as long as any of us can.” -Robert Abele\, Los Angeles Times “A gorgeous drama with an open\, aching heart.” -Jourdain Searles\, RogerEbert.com (NR\, 91m)
