Hal Holbrook is hard to beat in any role he takes on, but this story didn't really meet what I felt the synopsis stated. It is about growing old & feeling helpless when the body fails & meaningful work is missing. I suppose there are elders that might like the communal living in the home he ends up in, depends on the person. He demonstrates his deep anger & frustration with a nasty, bitter attitude to cope. There were parts I laughed at & parts that made me cringe with recognition of similar thoughts. Certainly not for every viewer as it tugs at regrets, choices made that don't appear until late in life.
