Het is een week voor het 45-jarige huwelijksfeest van Kate en Geoff Mercer wanneer er een brief arriveert voor Geoff. Het lichaam van zijn eerste geliefde is gevonden in het ijs van de Zwitserse Alpen waar zij begin jaren 60 vermist raakte. Het bericht brengt het de echtgenoten danig uit balans en het is nog maar de vraag of hun huwelijk het feest haalt in de vijf dagen die nog resteren. (Cinemien)

(50th KVIFF) Excellent conjugal drama. Based on the notes, I was expecting something more intense and expressive, but the drama takes place mainly within the character of Charlotte Rampling, who portrays it mostly through her expressions. That requires quite some attention and empathy from the viewer. Unlike this festival Romanians, 45 Years offers a real chance to grab on to something, to relate to the protagonist and feel her suffering. I understood her. 80 %

A movie that’s based solely on the acting performance of Charlotte Rampling. I was basically only watching her, and only because I would have fallen asleep otherwise. The slow storytelling style didn’t work for me, especially since Charlotte could say anything that she needed to say with her eyes alone. Unlike the movie itself, which didn’t say anything at all.

A beautiful film about how old age isn't easy, but can still be moving and beautiful. The strength of this film lies mainly in the fact that it's presented with perfect ease and a sense of ensuring it's not just a sentimental mess. The reality is that the performances and the director's guidance are the counterpart to an otherwise fairly ordinary story, showing that human life simply isn't ordinary.
