The young housekeeper they hire to watch after her knows what Auntie is doing, and deals with her accordingly, and they begin forming respect for each other.I would not call this one exactly a "feel good" movie, but it is definitely worth watching. The funny thing, I actually understand why the old lady acted the way she did. A very interesting movie...
