Our Souls at Night is a 2017 American romantic drama film directed by Ritesh Batra from a screenplay by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, based on the 2015 novel by Kent Haruf. The film stars Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Judy Greer. It marked the final collaboration between Fonda and Redford, who had previously co-starred in The Chase, Barefoot in the Park, and The Electric Horseman. (Redford also had an uncredited role as a basketball player in Tall Story, Fonda's first film.)

Our Souls at Night had its world premiere at the 74th Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2017. It was released simultaneously in select theaters in the United States and on Netflix on September 29, 2017. The film received acclaim from critics, who appreciated the film's direction, adaptation from the novel, and performances (especially Fonda's). Critics generally praised the casting of Fonda and Redford and their chemistry together.
