About Time, Too: Ivy's Story dives deep into the life of Ivy Lodge, an elderly ex-nurse with a complicated history. The film unfolds on her journey to a new home, and it’s fascinating how the narrative layers Ivy’s reflections on her past with her apprehensions about the future. The pacing is measured, allowing us to really sit with Ivy's memories—both the warm and the painful. The performances are quietly powerful, especially Ivy, whose character feels deeply lived-in. There's an intimacy here, aided by practical effects that feel less about spectacle and more about grounding her story in reality. Themes of nostalgia, regret, and the passage of time resonate throughout, making it a contemplative watch. It’s far from flashy, but it has a certain charm that lingers.
