"Throughout, Bill Nighy carries the film effortlessly on his slender shoulders, reminding us of why he's an international treasure." - Chicago Sun-Times

"An absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking piece of work." - Rolling Stone

Interesting fact: With his nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for LIVING, Kazuo Ishiguro has become the third Nobel-prize laureate to receive an Oscar nomination (the other two are George Bernard Shaw and Bob Dylan!)

Two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.

"Certainly one of Farrell’s finest performances and like the film itself, his loneliness sticks in your craw like an oft-recited Irish limerick." - San Jose Mercury News
