I'm still pretty shocked after watching this. At first it seems like such a fun and silly documentary taking tropes from spy movies but then it suddenly pulled the rug out from under you and breaks your heart into a million pieces.
It is a rare and intimate look into a care home that just lays out the lives of these amazing people living in there and allows you to see them in this unique way.
You really get to know these people and you see what they want most in like, human interaction, love, friendship, just someone who will take 5 minutes to talk to them like they are real people. There is a moment that just breaks my heart when a family come to visit Sergio and this lady sees them come in. Her face lights up at seeing these people coming to visit Sergio, she doesn't even know them but she is just so happy to see people.
I would honestly be mortified if I was any of the children of the people in this movie. To see their sadness and their need for human connection.
I also want to say that Sergio seems like an incredible person. His heart is so big and he cares so much for people.
There is a lady who writes poetry after reading an amazing poem she says "life is cruel". I think that message will stay with people after watching this movie.

A different documentary, a fiction, a contract between a detective and a senior citizen, all fake, but it generated a beautiful documentary, moving, sensitive, delicate, dramatic and sad, the solitude of the asylum, the parties, the generosity of those works with these elderly people... Pleasant surprise in the middle of the Oscars, in a sabbatical, inclusive and social year, a pity that their competitors are strong, Coletiv, Crip and Polvo, the four deserve...
"Life is cruel, after all." Resident Petita
In writer-director Maile Alberdi's sweet Spanish documentary, The Mole Agent, about a nursing home, life is not cruel. While slower minds and bodies come with the territory, the filmmakers catch almost everyone happy enough and involved in their little scenarios, created by their minds or the adults given responsibility for them.
Sergio (Sergio Chamy), a dapper 80-year-old, is hired to infiltrate a home to find out suspected abuse within a three-month period. He is immediately a hit with the ladies: He listens intently ("If you feel like crying, cry"), is always gentlemanly, talks romantically without crossing any of the appropriate lines with peers in the last years of their lives. And he has oodles of compassion.
He finds as he reports back regularly to this employer that a harmony and happiness pervade. In the most egregious malfeasance, a lady steals scarves and hides them. So bad.
I've heard most of those reading my review, and I, will one day need a home for themselves or loved ones. It would behoove us to see this benign inside look at the San Francisco Nursing Home to help us take heart that a true home could await in pleasant surroundings with like-minded seniors.
The Mole Agent, Sergio, is no James Bond but rather the embodiment of a senior most prized by residents as "autonomous." Being on his own and easily navigating the later years is an ideal we all can aspire to. These filmmakers have set the standard and neutralized the common stereotypes and clichés that plague thought about nursing homes.
Most of all, the documentary is good filmmaking that seems authentic and caring. Although some of the shots feel set up, it overall has a breezy attitude that will help others to see the good in a much-reviled profession. On Prime.

A funny and sweet documentary about an elderly man who takes a job as a double agent in a retirement community to report back on the treatment of one of its residents, whose daughter suspects is receiving poor care.
What the man finds instead is a nice community of old people trying to make the best of their loneliness. He makes a lot of friends and begins to enjoy his time there, but nevertheless finds a new appreciation for his own independence and his daughter, who hasn't abandoned him the way so many of the others who he befriends have been abandoned by their own families.
I thought other countries were generally better than America about taking care of its elderly, but this movie indicates that at least in Chile, where it's set, there's just as much of a tendency in children to let the care of their aging parents become somebody else's problem.
Grade: A-

Good movie, shows a terrible reality.
The theme of the movie I think is oblivion.
An approach to oblivion is always difficult as it can only be experienced when it is too late.
Invites us to think about the responsibility of society in the life of the elderly, it is the responsibility of everyone or only of each one's family.
Ungrateful Society or the inevitable pain and forgetfulness of the end of life?

- WissenswertesThe 'documentary' nature of this hybrid is very much in question. The filmmakers acknowledged at the Sundance Film Festival, that the lead protagonist was cast by them and that scenes were invented.
