"Moving On" showcases the comedic brilliance of Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda.
"Moving On" is a clear-eyed examination of the compounding weight of growing older, of carrying your life and your hopes and your memories and your regrets with you everywhere you go. The film stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two aging, estranged friends thrown together again after decades at the funeral of their mutual friend Joyce. While the tonal shifts from melodrama to mordant comedy don’t always work, Fonda and Tomlin are as good as they have ever been and “Moving On” proves itself a powerful rumination on the strength it takes to age—mentally, physically, and economically.
