nefasto r @Nefasto 08/25/2021 I don't think there is enough to chew off. Very simple, but also very humane. See more 08/22/2020 An intimate, deeply felt drama about complicated questions of faith See more William L @RT77267842 02/20/2020 Certainly a slow burn, but this character study prizes patience and subtlety as it unravels the compassion that one can provide for another simply by being there. (3.5/5) See more 06/18/2017 some real life shit. I appreciate the realness to it even if it doesnt have much of a pay off See more 06/02/2017 Like most people, I use the ratings here to influence my choices when I am looking for something different. This one did not disappoint. It transported me to the lives of two people living similar but totally different lives. I kept waiting for a big something bad to happen and instead it was only good with some reality mixed in. Left me wanting to spend more time in their lives, was disappointed when it ended kind of abruptly. See more walter m @Harlequin68 08/12/2015 Martin Bonner(Paul Eenhoorn) is a middle-aged divorced man who lives alone in Reno, Nevada, transplanted from Australia by way of Baltimore. When his grown daughter is not setting him up on blind dates, he volunteers to counsel recently released convicts. The latest is Travis Holloway(Richmond Arquette) who has just been released after a 12-year sentence and is wondering what to do next. Before he looks for a job, Martin takes the opportunity to take him out to lunch. Not much happens in the low key character study "This Is Martin Bonner." Then again not much has to really, as the movie takes its time in setting the mood and getting to know these two lonely men, both at different points in their respective lives. In general, the movie confirms the observation that everybody in Nevada has come from somewhere else, with Martin being imported due to his knowledge of soccer. So, if Las Vegas does get an NHL franchise, they will have to entice Canadians to come south by the busload. See more Read all reviews
