More Fiction than Documentary
23 March 2021
I used to volunteer in a nursing home and this movie depicts clearly the biggest issue in these places: loneliness and lack of interest from family members. Into the 20 minutes of this movie, I had a feeling that I was not watching a documentary but a Docu-Fiction. If you want someone to investigate if the nursing home is mistreating their patients, why would you want a movie crew to document the mole action? Isn't it obvious that the nursing home staff would not mistreat or steal their patients in front of the camera????? There are some parts of the documentary that didn't look real, kind of scripted like the ceremony of King/Queen celebration and also Miss Berta's love interest in the mole. Aside from the debate of documentary or fiction, it's a charming and caring movie.
