Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and romantics. An animal steals a fair few scenes. If you loved The Red Shoes, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

When a toy manufacturer feels ignored and unappreciated by his wife and children, he begins to rekindle a past love when a former employee comes back into his life.
