Wow, only TWO reviews?! How?! This film will appeal to jazz fans, old folks, junkies, and anyone who has had the misfortune to have worked in a "senior living facility"! I am three out of four of those, and becoming more close to the old folks demographic. I should say that I _was_ the junkie health care worker; I'm neither of those now. We love our geriatric charges, but the work is so absolutely abysmal and poorly compensated... This film is the only accurate depiction of that life I have seen. Worth noting is how different the movie seems to me now, having watched it for the first time back when I WAS sort of focused on obtaining druugs (and Dilaudid _was_ the top-tier chemical of choice), compared to now - now that I see it more from a potential resident's point of view.
Absolutely brilliant piece of filmmaking. Do not miss it.
