Moving On is a 2022 American comedy film written and directed by Paul Weitz.[3] The film stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Malcolm McDowell, Sarah Burns, and Richard Roundtree.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, 2022.[4]
In December 2022, it was announced that Roadside Attractions acquired North American rights to the film, which was released on March 17, 2023.[5] This was Richard Roundtree's final film to be released before his death in October 2023.[6]
Two estranged former friends reconnect at the funeral of a mutual friend, and decide to exact revenge on their dead friend's widower for the harm he caused to them decades earlier.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 75% of 79 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Moving On fails frustratingly often to rise to the level of its leads, but Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are entertaining company regardless of the context."[7] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 60 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[8]
Peter Debruge of Variety wrote: "We've been spoiled this past decade, discovering what Fonda and Tomlin can do together. Why didn’t Hollywood see the potential of this pairing half a century earlier?"[9]
