The Company You Keep
Decades after an ill-fated robbery, a former member (Susan Sarandon) of the Weather Underground turns herself in to authorities. While covering the story, reporter Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) discovers that recently widowed lawyer Jim Grant (Robert Redford) was also a member of that particular group. Grant slips by the FBI agents tracking him and goes on the run, hoping to track down his former lover, Mimi (Julie Christie), who's still underground and fighting for the cause.

The Statesman critic badly muffs this one. Redford creates terrific movies, and this one deserves 4.5 stars. Yes, he was a bit too old for the role, but he does look at least 10 years younger than his 76 years, so the 12-year-old daughter could have been born when the character was, say, 53 or 54. Not implausible.
The cast was not only amazing, but also well used. All of the performances were first rate, the story engrossing. Please go see for yourself, and ignore the Statesman review.

Dante never wrote about it, but there is such as thing as Movie Purgatory (or Cinema Purgatorio, if you will).
