Peace, Love and Misunderstanding


Peace Love & Misunderstanding

Caution: This film contains drinking, tobacco and marijuana smoking.

This film was directed by Australian Bruce Beresford.
After her husband announces that he wants a divorce, Diane (CatherineKeener), an uptight conservative NYC lawyer takes her kids to visit her hippie mother Grace (Jane Fonda) in a small town in upstate New York. It's not an easy thing for her to do since she's been estranged from her mother for many years.

But despite their long separation,  Grace finds a way to connect with and affect the lives of her daughter and two grandchildren.Vegetarian daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) discovers that she has the hots for a butcher and the filmmaking son Jake (Nat Wolff) dicovers that he has the hots for a girl who works at a local coffee shop.

Jude (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is a musician who’s a possible love-interest for Diane.

This film has some great lines in it and below are a few of them culled from it:

“Exclusion is an unnecessary violence.” –Grace 

“Color is the key to transformation.”–Grace

“Turn back your heart to the day that we met,
My love’s not through with you yet.”--singer at a festival


“Sometimes in art, like in life, you have to accept the fact that things aren’t going right, and you don’t quite know where you’re going, and you have to accept that because that’s when transformation can happen.” –Grace
