On Golden Pond (81): Tougher and better than its reputation, but certainly embraces the saccharine. H. Fonda is luminous, heartbreaking and resilient. Hepburn matches him with mettle and vinegar. The real life father/daughter drama at the center only adds power. Moving. B+

…oh is THAT who we're trying to reconcile with? We're reconciling with the NON-Aboriginal 'Canadians'?" THEIR interests?
