After nearly four decades together, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) get married in Manhattan surrounded by their loved ones. An unforeseen consequence of their new legal status is that George is promptly fired from his teaching job at a Catholic school, forcing them to sell their apartment until they can find a more modest new home. While foraging through the jungle of New York real estate, George moves in with the two gay cops who live downstairs, while Ben bunks with his nephew’s family, including their teenage son Joey, who is not too pleased to be sharing his room with a 75-year-old. While struggling with the pain of their separation and adjusting to their new cash poor position, Ben and George and further challenged by the inevitable intergenerational tensions and family dynamics that arise when you are living in someone else’s home. A powerful film about life, love and long term commitment that ‘sneaks up and punches you in the face’ (Guardian), this latest film from Ira Sachs is one to savour while our days are still long.
