Ptolemy Grey, a 91 year old man grappling with dementia, gets a shot at regaining his memories to solve his nephew's mysterious death. Although the main mystery is a little predictable, Samuel L. Jackson gives a powerful performance as Ptolemy. He portrays the character's confusion and vulnerability with raw honesty, making you forget you're watching a movie star and see a man wrestling with mortality. The supporting cast, especially Dominique Fishback as Ptolemy's unlikely caretaker, Robyn, is equally impressive. However, the plot itself meanders a bit, and the emotional payoff could've been stronger. Still, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is a thought-provoking watch, thanks to its stellar acting and unflinching portrayal of ageing and memory loss. So, grab some tissues and settle in one person's poignant journey through the twilight years.
