Wrinkles

"...a cast of eccentric characters who rebel against authority in this wonderfully animated and poignant comedy about life in an old folks home."

A very well done movie, but what a deceptive description. It is truly heartbreaking... you've been warned.

A must watch for everyone.

So elegant and beautifully depicted.

This animated picture is not aimed at children. And while you might have heard this before, especially concerning animated movies from Asia, this is a whole different deal. This involves matters and issues that concern the elderly. That does not mean, it is only for the elderly. Hopefully many people will watch it, but it would be a shame if you went to watch this movie expecting something else.

After this sort of foreword, I hope you know what you are letting yourself into. The movie itself is a tough watch, but it still has its funny moments nevertheless. The graphics might not appeal to everybody, same goes for the ethics and the way the movie ends. But you can't satisfy everybody ...

Because it really shows the problem with the elderly and shows what it's like with a man or anyone with Alzheimer's and living in a retirement home. Friendship can change the View on a man who believed that you live your whole life and That's How It Ends. And it looked so it shows the lives of old people of today and old people of tomorrow. I like this movie and I like how it shows what for dedication to this movie that's why I give an 8 out of 10.

A Spanish animated drama telling the story of Emilio, a retired bank manager who is developing early signs of Alzheimer. His son makes the difficult decision to put him in a care home, much to his father's disappointment. There, he slowly strikes up a friendship with his roommate Miguel who has all his marbles and spends his time making money out of his confused neighbours. The two find ways of relieving the boredom of the home but Emilio is seemingly fighting a losing battle as his memory begins to fade.

I thought this was an interesting little drama with a balanced mix of pathos and humour. For someone who works with older people, often in a care capacity, much of this rang true with me, particularly the boredom and loneliness that many experience when they move into a home. It never threatens to be anything truly groundbreaking and the animation is pretty basic but nonetheless it is a worthy film with some lovely scenes and will strike a chord with anyone who has had to deal with this terrible disease.
