Plot
Real estate agent Frank Mollard won't admit it, but he can't move on. Divorced but still attached, he can't sell a house in a property boom - much less connect with his teenage son.

Thus blossoms a charming and unusual friendship with an elderly woman which inspires Frank to reconnect with life.

Reception
With a 61% rating from critics, and a 70% rating from audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, A Month of Sundays was met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences.
Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian wrote "Situations, subplots and even barely seen characters are unified with an almost cosmic sense of fate." David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews wrote "One can only hope that this marks a temporary stumble for an otherwise talented filmmaker." Ben Kenigsberg of Variety called the film "so tidily plotted, so committed to its improve-thyself epiphanies, that it never transcends its own artifice."
