Tony Webster�s mundane retiree life is thrown into a tizzy following a letter from an old acquaintance. He dives headfirst into his past, and reassesses a former relationship, a forgotten friendship and a few repressed memories only to come to rude realizations.

Four years later, Ritesh Batra opens another lunchbox and serves up a story that is at once simple and magical, like a hot home-cooked meal.

We know the key ingredient in Batra�s pantry: he spins the best tales out of regular people with insignificant lives and a slight irregularity that alters it all. In The Lunchbox (2013), it was misaddressed notes sent in tiffin boxes. In The Sense Of An Ending, it is a letter that forces the protagonist to rethink the course of his life.

Tony (Jim Broadbent) learns that his ex-girlfriend Veronica�s (Charlotte Rampling) mother has left him a diary that belonged to his friend. But Veronica refuses to part with the diary. As Tony narrates old events to his ex-wife Margaret (Harriet Walter), he realizes that he may have a rather convenient memory of a murky past.

Jim Broadbent plays a letter-writing grumpy old man trapped in a world of smartphones and clicks and clacks; the movie thrives on his comic timing and vulnerability. Charlotte Rampling is a force of nature even in this understated role that requires her to not say much. Broadbent and Rampling�s younger counterparts (Howle and Mavor) also add great charm to the movie. Harriet Walter is superb as Tony�s ex-wife who has little patience for his irresponsibility and his obsessive soul-searching.

Writer Nick Payne has done a credible job of infusing this emotional story with a good dose of thrill; the last act is so structured that you may be left deciphering the plot if you don�t watch with rapt attention. On rare occasions, the movie delves into unnecessary details. Michelle Dockery plays Tony�s pregnant daughter and the purpose of her character isn�t entirely clear (except for a very obvious connection to an event in Tony�s past). But these are minuscule flaws.

With his English-language debut, Batra proves that his journey as a filmmaker is in sharp contrast with the title of his film.
