Recently divorced, Maggie struggles to balance her busy job at the local hospital with the care of her 12 year old son Oliver. Slowly things start to change when Vincent agrees to babysit Oliver, for a fee… of course. Despite their differences, it doesn’t take very long for them to form an unlikely bond. Although Vincent sees no problem in taking Oliver down to the racetrack or to the bar to meet up with his favourite stripper played by Naomi Watts, Oliver can see something in
Vincent that others cannot.
Bill Murray certainly puts his mark on this, playing the grouchy old man with finesse in this positive uplifting film. St. Vincent is out now in cinemas nationally.
