AN UNFINISHED LIFE
Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) is a grizzled old man who lives on an isolated Wyoming ranch. His wife left him when he started drinking after the death of their son.
Einar takes care of Mitch (Morgan Freeman), a friend who was injured in a bear attack. When Einar discovers bear prints near his son’s grave, he tries to kill the animal but is stopped by the sheriff (Josh Lucas).
Meanwhile, Einar’s widowed daughter in law, Jean (Jennifer Lopez), leaves her abusive boyfriend, Gary (Damian Lewis). She flees with her 11 year old daughter, Griff (Becca Gardner), to Einar’s ranch.
Einar is astonished to discover he has a granddaughter. He isn’t happy to see Jean because he blames her for his son’s death.
The real story is the relationship between Redford, Freeman and newcomer Becca Gardner, a fine young actress. Redford and Freeman exude dignity. They spar like two old grizzly bears growling at each other while keeping a respectful distance. The bear, of course, is the metaphor for threat, danger, guilt, grief and pain, as well as strength, perseverance, majesty and creation.
Even though Jennifer Lopez’s role is underdeveloped and her relationship with the sheriff unnecessary, this is a fine film for an autumn afternoon, a meditation on family, friends and life. Some problem language and an implied sexual encounter.
