Mein Plan war zu sterben, bevor das Geld ausgeht,“ sagt die 60jährige mittellose, prominente New Yorkerin Frances Price (Michelle Pfeiffer), „aber die Dinge laufen manchmal anders als geplant.“ Nachdem das Erbe ihres vor 12 Jahren verstorbenen Ehemanns Franklin aufgebraucht ist, macht Frances auch ihren allerletzten Besitz zu Geld und beschließt die ihr verbleibende Zeit anonym in einer ihr leihweise überlassenen Wohnung in Paris zu verbringen - gemeinsam mit ihrem ziellosen Sohn Malcom (Lucas Hedges) und einer Katze namens ‘Small Frank’- in der, vielleicht oder vielleicht auch nicht, der Geist ihres verstorbenen Ehemannes Frances wohnt.

The 62-year-old Hollywood veteran immersed herself in her role with all her professionalism, even though the character of Frances presented her with mischievous obstacles. A lifelong non-smoker, Michelle was forced to smoke more cigarettes for the role than she had in her entire previous professional life. She deserves recognition for her performance, but the film itself is considerably more problematic. I miss having a strong producer's hand, who should be the first to recognize that the film is heading towards failure. It is not clear who the film wants to appeal to, and it doesn't even have a clear genre it wants to be part of. Some of the characters should have been more well-defined. At times, the film requires an uncompromising edit. The screenwriter's work should have been returned to the table for (probably multiple) revisions. In this form, the film is destined to be quickly forgotten. Overall impression: 40%.
