As storytelling, 5 Flights Up is remarkably clumsy: the narrative strands never knit together, the well-intentioned messages are awkwardly spelt out, and the stakes remain low. That said, it's an easy film to watch.

While the plot might be the flimsiest, the characterisation actors Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton bring to this film turns it into a small delight.

Sometimes you see a play and you can imagine it being a movie. Sometimes you see a small movie like this, and you can imagine it working better as an intimate stage play.

It is hard to extract much of a high old time from a production like 5 Flights Up when the stakes involved are so exceedingly low.

What begins as a sweetly sentimental story ends up being cloyingly melodramatic.

Boy does Keaton look great in a New York apartment. Just the sight of her standing in a tiny living room is a statement against suburban life.

If you're looking for a film completely free of loud explosions, raised voices or anything actually happening, you can't go wrong with this fusty New York fairytale.

Completely reliant on the warmth and goodwill generated by its stars (rather than, say, its writing), this AARP-oriented dramedy strikes all the familiar chords.

What a pleasure to see a simple, finely tuned dramedy about real adults with real emotions in a real-life situation.

It's all very cosy and undemanding, but Keaton and Freeman are such amiably engaging screen presences you will probably enjoy spending the time in their company.

A couple of pros, playing attractive characters in an amiable yet topical story.

The movie ends just as you expected it to end, and there are almost no surprises along the way.
