Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline), a penniless fifty-odd-year-old New Yorker, lands in Paris. Cynical, and at the end of his tether, he looks forward to selling the mansion house his late father owned in the Marais district. But what he finds out there just appalls him: his secretive dad had never told him he had acquired the property as a life lease, a typically French custom of which he never heard. As a consequence, not only will poor Mathias be unable to sell the house into cash (at least as long as Mathilde Girard (Dame Maggie Smith) stays alive), but he will have to pay the old lady a pension as part of the bargain.
Leave your thoughts about My Old Lady.
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorOne thing Israel Horovitz got very right: the cast. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyMy Old Lady is pretty compelling viewing, mostly thanks to Kline, who gives a career-high performance here. |
| Arizona RepublicPenny WalkerThe film begins with upbeat music and what appears to be a comedy-of-errors setup, but it becomes so much more, bringing us through dark territory with wit, anger and grace, becoming in the end a much fuller tale for it. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe material veers a bit too predictably from near farce to serioso dramatics but the trajectory here makes emotional sense. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoMy Old Lady is affecting, even if many of the revelations and high-voltage speeches occur at predictable moments. But if you can look past this formulaic side, it's a movie worth seeing. |
| The AtlanticDavid SimsI'd praise Horovitz for going the darker route if My Old Lady wasn't so wrenchingly obvious and Kevin Kline's character wasn't so venal and cruel. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirHaving Maggie Smith on screen is like biting into a crisp, slightly sour apple. Even when she is playing a woman in her nineties, quilted with wrinkles, the interior is deliciously tart. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseHow relevant or relatable viewers will find all this is questionable, but fans of the actors will take true pleasure in their tart verbal sparring... |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaKline's character is an alcoholic and not exactly lovable, but we come to empathize. Smith, the grande dame of British theater and film, is wickedly wry and quick. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonWhat starts as an elaborate sitcom becomes an emotionally substantial tragicomedy. |
