I'll See You in My Dreams is a 2015 American comedy-drama film directed, co-written, and co-produced by Brett Haley.

It stars Blythe Danner, Martin Starr, Sam Elliott, Malin Åkerman, June Squibb, Rhea Perlman, and Mary Kay Place.

Life is very routine, as she has not had a relationship since her husband died 20 years ago and has no desire to date or marry again.

One day she must put the elderly dog down, leaving her without a companion outside of her friends Georgina, Rona, and Sally who live at a retirement community.

Coming home from the vet, she finds a large rat in her house, leading her to sleep outside for the night, where she meets her new pool man, Lloyd.

Carol and her friends get high, steal a cart after shopping, and evade a curious policeman.

However, frantic messages from Rona are on her answering machine when they get back home, as Bill is in the hospital.

She asks Katherine why people bother getting attached when death is inevitable, a sentiment she expressed to Lloyd earlier.

The film ends with her adopting an elderly dog and driving home with him, taking another chance at love.

The site's critical consensus reads, "I'll See You in My Dreams would be worth watching even if Blythe Danner's central performance was all it had going for it, but this thoughtful drama satisfies on multiple levels.

"[7] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 75 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
