‘Moving On’ Review: Revenge Is a Dish Best Served With Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin

Moving On is yet another tour de force for Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, who once again prove that they are a force to be reckoned with. Our review:

As far as we know, Grace and Frankie never planned to kill any boarish, horrid men in Grace and Frankie, but if four decades ago you found that 9 to 5 whet your appetite to witness Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin live out that particular fantasy—Moving On delivers.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY If Death at a Funeral taught me anything, it’s that funerals make the perfect backdrop for threats of murder and romantic revelations. Moving On may not be a comedy of errors, in the same way as either Death at a Funeral, but it does share similar tonal qualities with the dry, black humor, familial drama, and heightened emotions. All of which are elevated by the wry, irreverent catharsis built into the script and delivered so eloquently by Fonda and Tomlin.

Decades ago, Claire was assaulted by her college roommate Joyce’s husband, Howard , which was a secret that she was prepared to take to her grave, despite it permanently traumatizing her and wrecking her relationship with Ralph , but when Joyce dies, she realizes it’s time to move on by killing him. Naturally, Evelyn has her own motivations to rid the world of Howard, which threaten to paint Joyce in a brand-new light in her family’s eyes, much to his chagrin.

In the midst of the chaos to rid the world of another creepy man, Claire doesn’t lose sight of the fact that there are still good ones out there, like Ralph, and that sometimes letting go and moving on helps put things in perspective. The film gives equal weight to the idea of rekindling old love as it does the notion of rekindling an old friendship. Both are vital in the pursuit of moving on, and it helps to anchor the dark tint of the emotional baggage Claire has been saddled with.
