Review: A Simple Life is one of the rare dramatic features that could easily dip into the cliche and sappy, but stays at a level of subtle vulnerability and legitimate feeling. This film, about an aging couple where the husband has to take care of the wife medically, brings anyone that has been in a long term relationship through a familiar journey of discovery. This film is absolutely phenominal in every facet. We highly recommend this one!
