Beautiful cinematography and great vibe
I thought it was going to be a hard watch with a lot of cringe worthy scènes. I was surprised to find human stories in a special environment. The cinematography was stunning. Great documentary! - matthewssilverhammer - 9 July 2021
Incredible
A superb trio of stories set within a retirement oasis, each insanely engaging and representing a sobering reality of the American dream. Homeless bachelor Dennis is a gold-digging disaster; his segments are Kubrick-esque. Mild-mannered, recently-widowed Barbara's story is sweetly melancholy; her segments have a Vinterberg realism to them. My favorite is the couple, a sad and disturbing vision of marriage that plays like a Christopher Guest mockumentary that's more dramatic than funny.
