Frankie

While a successful, international, redheaded French actress (Isabelle Ruppert) and her grief-stricken Scottish husband (Brendan Gleeson) deal with her terminal cancer diagnosis during a vacation with her gay, restaurateur ex-husband (Pascal Greggory) and her commitment-phobic son (Jérémie Renier) in an historic, idyllic town in Portugal near Lisbon in this somber, poignant, meandering, down-to-earth, 100-minute film dominated by striking cinematography, scenery, and architecture, her ambitious New Yorker hairdresser and makeup artist friend (Marisa Tomei) must decide how to proceed after her cinematographer boyfriend (Greg Kinnear) proposes and her beautiful African-American stepdaughter (Vinette Robinson) must navigate her relationship with her teenage daughter (Sienna Nanua) and her crumbling marriage to her husband (Ariyon Bakare).
