Movie Haiku:Elderly widower comes out as a gay man after years in a supposedly happy marriage, causing his son to wonder what all this means about his own inability to commit to adult relationships. Jan found some of the quirky moments surprisingly affecting, but wondered why both women in are identified as Jewish: so what? Rich liked Plummer but little else.
