‘Our Souls At Night’ Trailer: A Classic Couple Reunites

By Sheryl Oh

Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, and the director of The Lunchbox? It sounds like a match made in heaven.

Ritesh Batra (The Sense of An Ending) has really found his niche in later-in-life romance films, but Our Souls At Night has an added ingredient of sweetness. The Netflix-distributed drama rekindles the erstwhile onscreen romance between Robert Redford and Jane Fonda in their fourth collaboration together, and it seems like the most charming thing.

The premise is simple enough: two neighbors, Addie (Fonda) and Louis (Redford), have lived next to each other for years decide to give love a chance. But in doing so, they are faced with the ups and downs of jump-starting a relationship at their age, not to mention doing so in a small town and with years of as-yet unidentified baggage dragging behind them.
