Real estate agent Frank Mollard won't admit it, but he can't move on. Divorced but still attached, he can't sell a house in a property boom - much less connect with his teenage son.

Thus blossoms a charming and unusual friendship with an elderly woman which inspires Frank to reconnect with life.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 63% based on reviews from 19 critics. [2]

[4] Paul Byrnes in the Sydney Morning Herald said "A Month of Sundays is a small miracle of a film – an odd combination of modesty and ambition." [5]
