This film is really recommendable, and I think that this subject of senile dementia and is very difficult to show and there are only a few films on this subject. The mix of sadness and good moments is really good and makes this film very refreshing and worth to watch.
There are some things that I didn't like of this film, but I'm being very critical, because I think that without this few "mistakes" that I think that they have done, the film would be excellent. (There are maybe a bit spoilers)
-The character of the wife, mother and the daughter in law is excessive in all the situations and too untrue.
-There are very few times were the grandparent gets angry, aggressive..., and if a person suffers senile dementia I have heard that it's usual to become like this when you don't understand whats happening to you etc.
-The daughter in law of the grandpa quits for being with him. Why? First I thought that this was male chauvinist and absurd. Why must the woman quite the job and not the man who is his son? And in my opinion the best that would be to show the usual situation, and not a situation where a rich family can afford to resign a job. I think the normal situation is that no one quites his job and I don't know, the grandparent goes to a residence or receives help from a professional...
But I repeat, this film is worth to watch.
