And how can you go wrong with Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton in the starring roles?\u00a0 If, like me, you live in Brooklyn and are of a certain age, and have considered changing your venue as this painter and that retired teacher have done, and moreover you have or had a small dog, you will enjoy the added bonus of relating strongly to the theme.\u00a0 \u201c5 Flights Up\u201d deserves a wider audience than \u201cFurious 7.\u201d\u00a0 But I somehow think that wish is overly optimistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 92 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/5f.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/5f.jpg\" alt=\"5f\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/5f.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/5f-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 FLIGHTS UP Focus World Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
