Jules

My Thoughts

For me, the movie was just okay. But Nami seemed touched by the story of an old man living alone in loneliness. I got annoyed at some of the main character’s decisions—they didn’t always make sense to me. That said, Ben Kingsley gave a great performance. He really captured that awkward, confused energy of an elderly person. Or maybe he’s just like that now, I’m not sure. The Alzheimer's theme always hits me emotionally too.
