Pannen:

Mikrophon sichtbar: The fluffy head of the boom mike is visible at the top of the screen during one of the flashbacks to young Jack Dodds flirting with his wife-to-be (although at this point he has only just met her; they seem to be cutting runner beans, or something). This is visible even when displayed in the correct aspect ratio of 2.39:1.

Great cast. Fine film.

This is a wonderfully warm and human film, perhaps a "guy's movie" as opposed to the many "girls' movies." How can you miss with such a great cast? Helen Mirren. Bob Hoskins. Michael Caine. They do a wonderful job on the story of old friends devastated by the loss of one of their group. If I have one criticism it is the overuse of flashbacks. There even are flashbacks within flashbacks. It's followed easily enough yet the total effect is one of choppiness. But the story is warm, the performances solid and a bonus is the many scenes in and around London. The Brits, unlike Hollywood, do not demand that everything be pretty and that the sun always shine. Helen Mirren is excellent again as a woman past the prime of life. Hollywood would have tarted her up. And there are plenty of grey skies and rainshowers. (Hey, this is England after all} A very fine film that obviously was a labour of love.
