Lowery's pairing of Redford and Affleck, the most internalize actors of their respective generations, is inspired. Fun to watch the always charming Redford come to life in scenes with his peer Spacek. If truly his last picture, it's a fittingly handsome, dignified, playful exit for this Hollywood icon.
