A Month of Sundays is a 2015 Australian film starring Anthony LaPaglia. [1]
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. One night Frank gets a phone call from his mother. Nothing out of the ordinary. Apart from the fact that she died a year ago.
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]
Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian wrote "Situations, subplots and even barely seen characters are unified with an almost cosmic sense of fate." [3] David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews wrote "One can only hope that this marks a temporary stumble for an otherwise talented filmmaker." [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]
