Sometimes we lie because it seems like the most convenient thing to do and sometimes because we need to judge other people's convenience. People who we don't know well appear to be fine simply because we don't know them well.
This movie is rather precious as it addresses loneliness - something that will most probably be forced upon us as we age. Robert is begging for some company throughout the movie and it is not easily seen...
Another thing this movie addresses is, well, what I mentioned earlier - lying. Keep the peace my friends, it usually works out :)
Robert De Niro is a widower who now lives alone and his 4 children live all across the US. He believes that things are fine with his children but, as most things go, things are far from fine. I must say that even though things tend to be 'not fine', all in all, things have a way of becoming fine - just look at the half full glass where the other half is full of precious air.
Needless to say, towards the end, my eyes were watery.
