Hope Springs
Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple s specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough – the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place.
Critic Reviews:
- " Tommy Lee Jones may very well steal the film with one of his most emotionally satisfying and complex performances. " – Richard Propes
- " Felt the need for a lighter more cinematic touch with its delivery, a little more humour when suitable to sell the big scenes, but with less use of the soundtrack to sign-post the next emotional trigger point. " – Kate Rodger
- " They say Meryl Streep can do anything as an actress. Hope Springs proves it. " – Kelly Jane Torrance
