Chantilly Bridge is a rare gem of a movie! It's extraordinary cast of women create a story that is warm, intimate and compelling. My wife and I were both equally captivated by the timeless quality of the performances and the real-life character issues that resonate with us all. Even the dialogue sounds natural and unaffected - probably because these remarkable actors were challenged by director Linda Yellin to use their own words. As a result, each of the film's well-photographed scenes reverberates with a gentle authenticity that will draw you in. And the music too is a treat as it's provided by the great Judy Collins, sounding as wonderful as ever. If you're looking for a beautiful film made for adults, let us highly recommend Chantilly Bridge!

This film holds you in its heart from beginning to end. It was authentic & relatable on every level. Acting, writing, directing, music, cinematography - all riveting, all right on the mark. The best friends in the story become your best friends, their struggles, your struggles, their joy, your joy. Yes, it's a film about women and friendship, but men should see it as well. So much insight. It will enlighten and enrich you. I've also never seen a movie that is so lyrical, not just in the dialogue, but in the way the dialogue, music and action are all put together. Kudos to these wonderful actors, and the writer, director, cinematographer and everyone else who worked on this film and put it together in such a beautiful way. Thank you. I will cherish this film and watch it, again and again.

Chantilly Bridge is a subtle movie, crafted by director Linda Yellen and an ensemble of talented women. The movie is a follow-up to the gem from 30 years ago, Chantilly Lace. The old friends introduced to us in Chantilly Lace get back together to grieve the dead, remember old times, and to share life stories - the way one only can with their oldest and truest friends. Where Chantilly Lace showed us women dealing with transitions - losing a job, losing faith, discovering sexual identity and facing illness and death - Chantilly Bridge let's us eavesdrop on their reflections of life experiences. They reunite in the middle of winter, and, metaphorically, in the winter of their lives. The accomplished cast, including 6 of the 7 actresses from Chantilly Lace plus the talented Patricia Richardson and Naaji Sky Adzimah, tell these stories themselves in a movie that is largely unscripted. Meaningful scenes, beautifully acted.
