    • Trivia
      Jane Seymour, a skilled painter, painted all of her character's own artwork in the film.
    • Goofs
      Although this film is ostensibly set in the year 2013, as Ruby's tombstone in the epilogue gives her year of death as 2014, when Tash visits the library to research her mother's birth online, advertising posters for the 2020 NSW Premier's Literary Awards are clearly visible.

    10/10

    A gentle, honest family drama about ageing and family ties.

    Quietly humorous in its portrayal of a family trying to care for a mother & grandmother who has dementia. Honest, unflinching and sensitive portrayal of a family coming to terms with the changes a dementing illness causes, and the effects on the whole family. Showing the responses of the health system and available community services to a family in need was brutal but accurate.

    Jane Seymour was wonderful. The rest of the cast are all excellent and Tash the granddaughter (Coco Gillies) is an absolute delight.

    Congratulations to all involved in the writing and making of this movie - beautifully done.
