“A delightful folk story from one of the best filmmakers working today - and a fitting final turn from Redford, all easy charm and grace. It takes a lifetime of effort to look this effortless.”
Screened in tribute to Robert Redford (1936 - 2025)
In his final starring role Robert Redford is Forrest Tucker, an aging bank robber who escapes prison and - with Tom Waits and Danny Glover as his accomplices - promptly resumes his heists with wit and charm. Based on a true story, the film also features strong performances from Sissy Spacek as his love interest and Casey Affleck as the detective on his trail. Director David Lowery brings a warm, nostalgic tone and a gentle, reflective pace, crafting a film that’s as much about aging and identity as it is about crime. It’s a fitting, graceful farewell to Redford’s legendary screen career.
