Darling Companion is about and for an audience that really doesn’t get enough respect: women of a certain age who love their dogs too much. It’s far from a great movie — but it has Diane Keaton, and that’s enough. Keaton plays Beth, the wife of an officious doctor (Kevin Kline). Freeway (played by a charmingly shaggy mixed-breed) is scooped up from the side of an interstate and becomes Beth’s lifeline. DC is mostly about what happens when the dog gets lost. All of Beth’s late-life frustrations pour helplessly forth. Coming along on the search-and-redemption mission are Penny (Dianne Wiest); her new boyfriend (Richard Jenkins); Penny’s son Bryan (Mark Duplass); and the couple’s caretaker, Carmen (Ayelet Zurer), a gypsy who can sense where Freeway has gone. Sam Shepard is the town sheriff. Keaton imbues Beth with a sorrow, warmth, wisdom, and rage that feel earned. Her performance is an extension of worn, resilient grace. --Boston Globe
