Featured reviews
A beautifully told and scenically depicted tale of friendship, love, cynicism, disappointment and hope in the twilight years. It's a pleasant departure from the Disney-Pixar brand of animated movies, and hits the right notes with realistic problems, real-life humor and eccentric characters.
If you rate a good movie as one which can make you feel a range of emotions, from sympathy, happiness, sadness, to thrill of adventure, hope and that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you see a P&G ad, this movie is sure to delight and stay with you for a reasonably long time.
It does get slow in bits. You go through topsy turvy emotions with Emilio and Miguel's friendship and quirkiness along the way. There's Antonia and other characters to lend life to the gloominess of a general old age home. But what you can never guess, is the heart warming end to this beautifully crafted movie.
Worth a watch. Go see it now.

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.

"...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.

- TriviaThe author, winner of the 2008 National Comic Prize for this work, did not seem too nervous before watching the adaptation for the first time. He was talking inconsequentially with the director, seated on one side, and with a journalist on the other, about the nursing home visited. During the exhibition, a few questions from the creator to the director about any changes in his story. The rest of the room in respectful silence, accompanied by people crying in the background. At 87 minutes, the session ends with Applause. The first spectators leave the room and miss a gift: Rosa Lema, 101 years old, with dementia, sings a song in credits. A treasure that the sound engineer found in one of the nursing home he visited.
- GoofsEmilio calls his roommate Manuel several times, even if his name is Miguel. That is Emilio's memory failing for reasons that are revealed later in the film.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits roll with normal music, then the music is replaced with an elderly woman's voice trying to sing Gardel's "Adiós que me voy", with hospital background noise. The old lady forgets some lyrics and tells the audience we don't know her.
