The Gliksmans

About This Movie

The Gliksmans is a quirky little comedy that centers on an elderly couple, who, against all odds, feel this mad urgency to get to the bank. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which somehow adds to the charm. The film balances humor with a touch of heart, exploring themes of stubbornness and love in later life. The performances are refreshingly candid, particularly the leads, who bring a lot of nuance to their roles amidst the absurdity. It’s not flashy, but there’s an endearing quality to how they navigate their day, and the practical effects, though minimal, are cleverly used. It feels like a slice of life that’s both relatable and oddly entertaining. Definitely one of those films that sticks with you in its own way.
