This movie is an impeccable, beautifully shot look at the inner workings of the human mind and what it means to be human closer and closer to the end of our days.
After reading other reviews, I feel I need to write more. So this is my edit.
This movie was not about 'miserable people in The Villages'...this movie is about the depth of character within all of us, this movie is about facade, this movie is about waking up to the fact that actually 'living your dream' is not at all what you thought as a child, this movie is about connection, and how important it is. This movie has beautiful shots, featuring the bodies of both old and young within the same shot overlayed on a stunning Florida sunset, making your mind compare the two stages of life directly, this movie shows the strength of us at different stages of life when showcasing the impressive rowers coasting over the rippling water with intense force and speed, this movie tells us that beneath all of those shots, and beneath your reviews, your, 'my family is so happy here' 'everyone i know in the village is HAPPY' there are LAYERS, and a depth to that life that you cannot come close to imagining...did you miss when the man who couldn't settle called his mother who is nowhere near the community and told her how well he's doing and about all of his work? When he's barely even able to live? And is within the community illegally? You're that person on the outside. You're the mother. And even if you were on the inside, too, with as shallow mindsets as you all have, assuming that humans experience one emotion and one emotion alone (ie, you stating that your families are so happy there), you would still be on the outside. You won't ever get it if you think like that. We are all multifaceted. Misery, happiness, they don't live within us alone. Emotions are many. And they are fleeting. As is life.
