a tragic little ol lady
ops-5253519 October 2020
We have all heard about little old ladies hoarding animals until last breath is taken, well this is the kind of story it is, not dead, but well on its way.. its a film made on low sound and film quality, with bad light setting. but that doesnt nescesarily make it a bad film, but it wont comprehend it either. its made on a homemade budget, its a sitting by the kitchentable one lazy sunday afternoon knitting coffee and drinking socks idea.

its a one woman show, as its about a woman who does a civil service sentence after a dui, at a small animals clinic.she is lonely, not particularly healthy, has a daughter that wont take her calls. so a dog is taken home and its love all the time. as time goes by its spins totally out of control...

its the typical news reel narrative hanging on this story, its acted as expected, no hippei hay hey on the corner, its just a plain story at plain speed, and its best to watch if you have strange thoughts about aging and death, or do have a great affection for animales minores. i saw it, im grumpy and old and have 2 chinese powder puffs, the hottest animal on earth, and have not a wish to expand my herd, so its a small recommend.

What has happened in an increasingly God-denying society...

That was all I could think of while watching this movie. How much better for this woman to have gotten involved in a neighborhood church setting, where she'd have conversations and fellowship with others, probably a once-a-week lunch and other activities and situations wherein she could help other people. How much more uplifting and comforting these places can be as we age. They still exist and have kept many an older adult going when family is too busy, alas, to help out on a daily basis. I went to a church rummage sale yesterday and saw this kind of thing is still in action.

Touching!

I was so touched by this film that I can't find the right words to describe it. Though played by non-professionals, the characters totally managed to impress the audience with outstanding portrayals of the narrative, however uncomplicated it was.
