I'm 61 and had a non debilitating stroke. Nobody put me in a nursing home or even suggested it even tho I was having serious mental health issues in the beginning. You can't see dementia on an MRI. You CAN see Parkinson's on an MRI and do you know what happens when you have a stroke? LOTS of brain scans. If she had Parkinson's it would have showed on those scans. Parkinson's dementia doesn't come first before the observable symptoms. Who doesn't know these things? Dementia is only an observed and testable issue. This woman has no symptoms of Parkinson's disease. You can't be forced to take medication against your will. You can't be confined against your will. You can leave any time whether the doctor suggests it or not unless you're confined by a court. Her daughter does not have medical power of attorney. All of this is ridiculously distracting from the get go.
The performances are good. The chemistry between the grandmother and grandson is amazing. I love all the residents of the home. The daughter is absolutely hateful. All great performances.
Most of the staff, however, come off as evil from the start. In a senior home that expensive, they'd have the veneer of caring. They'd be placating. I think of it were not for bad directing and the main character issues I mentioned earlier it would have been much better. They could have had some actual reason for her to be there.
On the whole, disappointing only because of poor writing premise.
