It's like a nice friend, it's very sweet and Bill Nighy is always a delight to watch. For me, the movie never hits the emotional stride it could have, I was hoping for a true waterworks moment and heartache or heartbeating moment, it just never quite came, maybe that's on me. The swing scene could have been this, it just didn't quite feel right. Perhaps the scene where the son discovers his father never revealed his illness was it, but that seemed somewhat out of place.
The colour of the movie, especially the intro, is captivating and brings in some nice nostalgia, Bill Nighly is fun, worth a watch.
