The Elderly (2022)
6/10
Empathetic
15 March 2024
An empathetic take on being - not growing - old. This is not an investigation of growing into old age, but of being old and becoming older. To put it bluntly. "Things fall apart". Our bodies and minds start to fail, our partners die, and we have to cope. It is confusing and frighteneng-- some of us become passive, some become aggressive--but we all react. Violence against, and by, those who are "losing it", is a real problem Rarely is the "violence by" deadly, but often, the "violence against", is, if not deadly, cruel. Throughout our lives we have all entertained thoughts of revenge that we did not act upon, but in our dementia reveries, we may.

All of the actors did credible jobs. To criticize the actress who played Naia for having an ample bosom is entirely offensive--it wasn't a "thing" in the movie and I did not even notice until "that reviewer" made an issue of it. She did a very good job as the most empathetic person in the room--I think she has a fine career ahead of her.
