Back When We Were Grownups

Beck is a 53-year-old widow who appears to have everything—she runs a successful catering business and holds a large, loving family together—yet feels unmoored and convinced she’s become the wrong person. Quietly humorous and deeply human, the film follows her inner questioning as old relationships and hidden longings surface, forcing her to reevaluate the life she thought she understood.

What unfolds is a tender, bittersweet journey of rediscovery that leads Beck back to an ex-beau and forward to an unexpected soulmate, with standout performances from Blythe Danner, Peter Fonda, Jack Palance, Peter Riegert, Faye Dunaway and Ione Skye. Gentle, warm, and reflective, the story explores identity, family bonds, and the possibility of starting anew at any age.
