Featured review
Life affirming, great resource for professionals
I saw this at Boston's (Brookline's) legendary Coolidge Corner Theater and consider it an important film for several reasons. One, it is a very warm, compassionate, humane film - and how often can we say that nowadays. The stars are real people, community members in Brookline, Massachusetts, either elderly people in an elderly housing project or children. While the movie is built around a fictional conceit, its sub-text is the real story - the powerful interaction between the two sets of actors who are 2 or 3 generations apart. The commentary at the end in which the participants talk about the impact that the experience of making the movie had upon them caps a powerful experience; both elderly and children felt the shock of recognition and engagement of two groups that normally have little to do with one another, except intra-family. I immediately recommended this to several friends who teach in the service professions, i.e., social work, recreation therapy, and education, because I can't imagine any viewer coming out of this uninspired or unenlightened by it. The production quality is excellent and the directing and editing highly professional, not surprising, as it was made by top-flight pros. All in all, a wonderful experience and, as noted, a terrific resources for professionals and students in any of a number of service-oriented fields.
