Going in, I thought that this movie -- about an elderly couple forced by circumstance to live apart for the first time in decades, one each with two of their children -- would end with them having the last laugh. But no: it's more bitter than sweet; the moral seems to be that, as the title says, there's nothing to do but clear out and make way for tomorrow. To try otherwise is to be ground to dust.
