    “This vacation is far from idyllic,” remarks Frankie, a former film star and reluctant matriarch played by Isabelle Huppert. The narrative mainstay of the horrible holiday during which repressed middle class emotion threatens to overflow, director Ira Sachs borrows more from the lightly melancholic musings of Éric Rohmer than the chilliness of Joanna Hogg. Frankie has gathered her nearest and dearest to a hillside villa in Sintra, Portugal, as an early farewell: her cancer is terminal and she only has a few months left. She contemplates her mortality as her kin navigate their own struggles with love and money.
