Movie Haiku:Married for decades, Caro reaches a crisis point after her BFF dies of Breast Cancer. When she decides to retire, her daughters give her a membership in an Senior Center. Initially she is full of resentment but gradually she loosens up & even begins an affair with an instructor... eek! But Ardant is so luminous that it is all totally believable. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
