Review of My Sailor, My Love

Ireland-set, Scandinavian-made romantic drama about an older man finding love late in life with an older woman sent by his daughter to be housekeeper-carer, and the impact that has on the very troubled daughter who has spent her whole life traumatised by the effort of caring for first her mentally ill mother and then her deteriorating and unloving father. Lots of heavy emotional work, and lots of beautiful scenery and perfectly drawn interpersonal dynamics. It's not as unremittingly bleak as this makes it sound, but there aren't many laughs.

Watched on Netflix via phone and Chromecast, an unusual good film found there.
