Louise (Karen Gillan) is a 28 year old mess. She breaks her hip while trying to sneak into her ex-boyfriend's apartment. Her hospital roommate Antonina (Malgorzata Zajaczkowska) is a cranky old lady who speaks only Polish. She ends up in physical therapy with a bunch of old ladies and befriends former enemy Antonina. Antonina is a little too mean at the start. I'm not sure where she crossed the line. It would be more compelling if she turned up a Polish song instead of English TV. Gillan is doing a terrific job as usual. She's endearing with Antonina. What I love most is her trouble dealing with her mother.

A very sweet little movie about life and the little things that matter, it just an enjoyable and chill experience and that's always great in movies, it makes you revaluate your life, you need to change your life and do better ok, its for your own good ok, dont get mad i i know its hard to accept it. The story and relationships beetwen the two female leads is a great one, if made me remember of those old movies about mom and daughter, we don't have movies like that anymore, a shame it's overall a good little enjoyable movie to watch with your family and love ones or maybe alone if that's your things.

This movie hit home hard in a beautiful, sad and funny way. .... So thank you very much for this film! I loved it. If you're dealing with someone with Alzheimer, take a box of tissues and watch this movie. It's like a little present, we are not alone. Help each other out to share the 'burden' . That's what this movie teaches us, and so many other things. I'm not 28 years anymore but could really relate to Louise. All the actors did a tremendous job. The only thing was the character Max, it wasn't clear to me where he lives but he was very nice. Too bad we have to write 600 words, cause I've said everything I want to say. 10 out of 10 for me.

A sweet movie with solid performances from all the cast. If your idea of a good time involves stunts and superheroes then this may not be for you. It's just a quiet slice of life type of movie. Probably appreciated more by women. I found the Alzheimer's storyline very moving. At its heart it is a story of mothers and daughters. I must have liked it a lot because I went to the trouble of logging in to IMDb for only the second time in ten years and what a blooming palaver that was. What more can I say. Give it a go. If you don't like it after twenty minutes then turn it off. I liked it a lot.

Multilayered drama full with emotions that range from humorous, sad, sorrowful to those of unfulfilled love. Karen Gillan as Louise, is a perfect personification of a late 20's lady reeling after a breakup, and whatever happens in the film, she is the centre of the story. You will notice that, as the movie goes on, you find out there's a lot more to her. Heartache that extends beyond a straightforward breakup has impacted her life and everything else is interwoven into it. We are brought into her life and the feelings she has because of her past, helping us to understand her friendship with an elderly woman who speaks Polish only - all this adds quiet emotion to the narrative, but creates simultaneously the subplot to the main story, as well. The unspoken magic of connection between two unlikely characters makes possible for the anxious Louise to teach the old woman Antonina how to move into the future while missing her past. All those characters feel essential to bring every single feeling to life in the numerous film scenes while assembling the puzzle of life full of hidden love.

Dreadful New York drama "Late Bloomers" tries excrutiatingly hard to be a poignant character-study life-lesson on immature hopelessness flourishing heart-warmingly into well-rounded adulthood... but it falls miserably flat. Karen Gillan (a decent actress - woefully overcooking it here) is a self-pitying, aimless, 28 year old whiner who on engaging obnoxious old Polish Malgorzata Zajaczkowska supposedly grows into being a better person. Despite nice support from slow-rising star Jermaine Fowler, respective first-time director & screenwriter Lisa Steen & Anna Greenfield really pooped the bed badly on this turkey. It is a stinking turd. Flush it away.

In an age where personal responsibility and accountability have become increasingly hard to come by, it's comforting to know that it's never too late to grow up, as evidenced in director Lisa Steen's debut feature outing. This touching yet insightful comedy-drama tells the story of Louise (Karen Gillan), a 28-year-old Brooklynite seriously in need of getting her act together. When the would-be musician breaks her hip while in a drunken stupor, she undergoes surgery to repair the damaged joint, but, while recovering in the hospital, she's assigned to a semi-private room with a cantankerous old woman who only speaks Polish, Antonina (Margaret Sophie Stein). Language considerations aside, they get off to a rough start on a variety of fronts. But, before long, Louise comes to understand and appreciate Antonina's simmering frustration with essentially being treated as though she's invisible and ends up, quite surprisingly, becoming her caretaker after being released from the hospital. And, through this unlikely relationship, Louise starts to take her own life more seriously, leaving her irresponsibility behind and finally living up to her obligations, most notably reconnecting with her mother, Dorothy (Talia Balsam), who's in the late stages of early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Based on this picture, it's certainly heartening to see that it's possible for those in need of getting their lives in order can still do so, even with some slip-ups along the way. "Late Bloomers" serves up a charming mix of laughs (many of them unexpected in nature) that are well integrated with its share of tender, sensitive moments, all brought to life by the excellent performances of the two leads and a host of colorful supporting players. There are a few points where the narrative meanders a bit, but these are more than made up for by everything that the filmmaker, cast and crew get right. Based on what I've seen here, I'm anxious to see what this director comes up with next, as this effort represents an auspicious start to what I hope and believe will be a promising filmmaking career.

This is a fine drama, that does a decent (if not groundbreaking) job of dealing with such topics as self-exploration and personal growth, responsibility, age, infirmity, and Alzheimer's disease. Ann Gillan is always excellent, though I think the role of "28-year-old American" might have taxed here enough that she wasn't able to bring as much nuance to the role as we know she is capable of. Malgorzata Zajaczkowska has been absent way too long from the US screen, she is a delight. However -- I can't emphasize this enough -- this is not a comedy. Whichever studio executive decided to classify it as such (including the careful and misleading selection of scenes in the trailers) needs therapy. And if they genuinely thought that it is a dark or black comedy, then they need some remedial time in film school to learn what the terms mean. So if you're looking for a comedy to watch, by all means watch this interesting and well-acted human drama about some serious themes, but have an episode of Selfie or Coupling on hand to wash it down afterwards and bring you back to a happier place.

This film is emotional, funny, sad, and layered. The main plot is about a woman who is ann emotional wreck due to a breakup. But as the film develops you learn there is much more to her. Her life has been touched by heartache that goes deeper than just a simple breakup. You are brought into her life and the feelings she has because of her past. The sub plot is her relationship with an elderly woman who brings silent emotion to the story. The elderly woman misses her past and learns to move into her future from the main character. Each character plays a critical role in bringing every emotion into each scene. If you speak a bit of Polish than the subtle jokes become more of an inside joke you have with the Polish characters, but don't worry, if you don't, you are filled in at the end.
