Tony's last act




I watched this lovely, funny, slightly quirky movie yesterday.  It's so bittersweet, too.  After coming to recognize James Gondolfini as Tony Soprano, we now meet him as Albert, a kind and gentle bear of a man, a bit defeated, a bit confused and shy.  He and Julia Louis Dreyfus are absolutely delightful together.  But we'll never see Gondolfini again.  I believe he had a world of fine performances left in him.  His loss, plus the overall sweetness of the story, make it at least a three tissue flic.

I loved this movie! Saw it in the theatre. "Tony" & Julia were great together-- both have such good comedic timing. Movie is not sad, just the thought of him being gone now...
