London, 1953. Mr. Williams, a veteran civil servant, is an important cog within the city's bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of World War II. Buried under paperwork at the office and lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a devastating medical diagnosis forces him to take stock, and to try and grasp some fulfilment before it passes permanently beyond reach.

Bill Nighy, my favorite actor, in the performance of a lifetime. Remake of a Kurosawa film. Go out and live your life!

Starts (necessarily) slow & winds up a knockout. Nighy deserves his nomination for quietly embodying a man who opens his eyes just in time.

"Living," is a poignant exploration of grief, connection, and the resilience of the human spirit. Nighy delivers a captivating performance

IMO, brilliant film. Combination of S. Beckett, W. Anderson, Kurosawa. London 1950s. U may not like it if you need CGI, violence, C. Nolen

Living is one of the greatest remakes in history. Though it's not as good as the original, as it's a bit rushed, it's fascinating.

Nighy is fantastic. Ishiguro’s script and Hermanus’ direction are masterful. A slow but emotional story about facing death with dignity.

Beautifully shot, beautiful acted, a little slow but ultimately touching

Nice film, but it doesn't tug the strings of the heart like the original "Ikiru" does

​Bill Nighy is excellent but this movie is so polite it’s practically a nap. Beautifully shot, but I need more than a swing set.
