Dave S @RT68722908 Aug 3, 2024 If ever there was a movie that could be described as ‘nice’, it would be The Grocer’s Son. That’s not a bad thing by any means – it’s really quite enjoyable from start to finish, but it is relentlessly nice. When his father suffers a heart attack, the estranged son returns home to Provence to help run the family grocery business. There is really nothing to dislike about the movie, being as nice as it is. The only possible complaint would be the predictability of virtually everything. Will the young man reconcile with his father? Will the main character have a life epiphany? Where will his relationship with his unrequited love lead? But just because you know the final destination doesn’t mean that you won’t enjoy the journey.

Quiet scenes with very relatable characters (I to the son), nice cast of varied characters... All subtle with a message about people and how we chose to live our lives, or at least try to make the most of what life gives us, especially with family. About growing up and taking responsibilities and being a good person past our history. Recommended!
