don't let the past remind us of what we are not now - stephen stills
the disappointments of a promised life unfulfilled - how happiness can not only leave us as easily as it comes, but fade away as well, slowly disappearing until we finally realize it's too late. like the songs we once wrote, but no longer sing, so is love once had. but old songs can still be sung, and new songs can still be written - for lovers old, for lovers new - but most of all - for ourselves - if only we allow it.

Ed Burns out in the streets of New York City stealing shots in his 50s. I love that he’s still making movies and the actors all seem to be having a great time. He truly is the People’s Woody Allen
Edward Burns has always wanted to be Woody Allen and this is his “Hannah and Her Sisters.”
A cast of white, upper class artists, perpetually in Autumn New York (big city apartment and beautiful huge rustic upstate homes) who are dissatisfied with their situation and suddenly infidelity is an option. As one person says knowingly, “rich people and their champagne problems…”
It’s Burn’s Andy Miller and His Sisters. Andy is a painter going through a divorce. Sister Eve (Gretchen Moll) is a former pop star with her drunk husband (Patrick Wilson) and other sister Maggie (Julianna Margulies) a prolific novelist (whose titles are always participles) unhappily married to a successful more important writer (Campbell Scott) who’s not writing (very Barbara…
Rich people and their champagne problems for real. So cliché and predictable. They do tiktok skits making fun of how overdone these types of movies are now. Managed to keep me engaged until the third act. I know my mom would eat this up though.
This film moves from exposition to exposition. Dialogue scenes packed back to back in sterile unlived sets. Characters articulate every thought they have as if rehearsing for a play. Excruciating to watch. You can find more nuance in a Hallmark movie.

Minnie Driver here running away with the movie… as always.
A limited series would have been a much better vehicle for these stories.
The movie is about mid-life crises in different forms. Let me get the main positive out of the way: the actors in the cast, most of whom are well-known, do quality work and aren't mailing in their performances. In that way, the movie is like hanging out with old friends. Also, Burns's script, to his credit, stays appropriately serious instead of adding unnecessary comedic bits (typically this kind of movie is delivered in a sort of rom-com or "dramedy" form -- thankfully not this time).
Ah, but that script. In between conversations that are written in a very grounded and authentic way, you get chunks of clumsy…
wine mom: the movie
Stephen Stills wrote “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” as his relationship with fellow musician Judy Collins began to dissolve. It examines the effects of aging and growth on people and what happens when dreams change, but love continues to flow everlasting. Burns explores these same themes with his characters, all of whom are moving into a third phase of their lives. They’ve established careers (in Eve’s case, deferred them), had children, and built families. What happens to a family when children leave to start their own? What happens when your career flourishes but your relationship remains stagnant? What if while you’re growing as people, you also grow apart? I must be getting older myself because although I’m a generation younger than the characters in this film, I could relate to many of these questions myself and left the film thinking deeply about my own life.
