As an avowed Francophile, I love a good film set in Paris. Put Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith in starring roles and how can you go wrong? My Old Lady is a lovely film and one I would happily watch more than once.

My Old Lady ~ A Francophile Film
Academy Award® winners Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith and Academy Award® nominee Kristin Scott Thomas star in this witty and heartfelt drama about surprising inheritances and unexpected connections. When Mathias Gold (Kline) arrives at the sumptuous Parisian apartment he inherited from his father, he’s surprised that the property comes with two stubborn live-in tenants who are not required to leave according to an ancient French real estate law. Unable to sell the place, Mathias moves in with the feisty Englishwoman, Mathilde (Maggie Smith), and her daughter,Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas). But as Mathias and Chloé draw increasingly closer, Mathilde unveils a complex labyrinth of secrets that unites the trio in unexpected ways.
People who complain about the absence of genuine adult drama from cinema screens have an opportunity to put their monies where their mouths are here.
