Living (2022)
Living is a movie out of time. It takes place in the distant past of London in the 1950's. Bill Nighy plays Rodney Williams a British civil service who receives a grim diagnosis, which changes his view on everything. The one thing he questions is if he has lived a good life. A life rich in experience and friends, and he comes to the conclusion that he hasn't and that change can happen, and redemption is possible. Bill Nighy is fantastic in the part, and he gives a quiet performance in this movie. We are thrust into the characters dilemma early in the movie and the director Oliver Hermanus doesn't waste anytime in getting us familiar with the characters of the film. I have always liked Bill Nighy's performances no matter what movie he is in. He does a wonderful haunting performance of Rodney Williams. The film makes you feel the monotony of Rodney routine. It is his diagnosis that tips him into the so called pool of life ...
