Moving On (2022)

Jack and I were in the mood not to think too much and liked this story of two, dare I say, elderly women, Jane Fonda (now 86) and Lily Tomlin (84), grieving their friend's death and getting back at the widower, Malcolm McDowell (80). Richard Roundtree, who died at 81 in October, has a nice part.

Director Paul Weitz wrote the mostly fluffy script. The score, not available online, is credited to Paul Croteau and Amanda Delores Patricia Jones. Here's a list of songs.

After a bit I realized why Fonda looked so strange to me: it wasn't her all-white hair––it was her oddly thick, oddly dark eyebrows. She had her own makeup artist, David DeLeon, who has been nominated for his work on Grace and Frankie, among his credits.

Fonda was last blogged for Luck, Tomlin and Weitz for Grandma, and Roundtree for the remake of Shaft. McDowell's 60 year career includes If... (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), The Artist, 40 episodes of Franklin & Bash, 34 of Mozart in the Jungle, and playing Rupert Murdoch in Bombshell. This is Croteau's feature debut after dozens of TV gigs. Jones has nine features under her belt, as well as dozens of shorts and TV episodes, including 22 of A Black Lady Sketch Show.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences aren't going anywhere with their averages of 75 and 70%. We streamed it on Hulu with our subscription on January 21.
