The Mole Agent

I'm still pretty shocked after watching this. At first it seems like such a fun and silly documentary taking tropes from spy movies but then it suddenly pulled the rug out from under you and breaks your heart into a million pieces.

It is a rare and intimate look into a care home that just lays out the lives of these amazing people living in there and allows you to see them in this unique way.

You really get to know these people and you see what they want most in like, human interaction, love, friendship, just someone who will take 5 minutes to talk to them like they are real people. There is a moment that just breaks my heart when a family come to visit Sergio and this lady sees them come in. Her face lights up at seeing these people coming to visit Sergio, she doesn't even know them but she is just so happy to see people.

I would honestly be mortified if I was any of the children of the people in this movie. To see their sadness and their need for human connection.

I also want to say that Sergio seems like an incredible person. His heart is so big and he cares so much for people.

There is a lady who writes poetry after reading an amazing poem she says "life is cruel". I think that message will stay with people after watching this movie.
