Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
To know is not the same as to possess, and at any rate, possession is never permanent.
In the beautifully acted drama"45 Years," a marriage lives and dies; we watch its agonized struggle, like a butterfly impaled on a pin.
What's the big deal? How does an entire film come of this? There are satisfying answers to these questions, but to state them would be to ruin a perfectly good movie.
Daringly unsentimental, "45 Years" makes a persuasive case that marriage demands not only patience, but guts.
