Kings Point

This is a pretty random film. Hard to recommend to viewers of any age, and not because it is depressing. It's the lack of structure. There are some monologues by the elderly about their lives, a few exchanges in which two or three people converse with each other in front of the camera. No progression, no obvious beginning, middle or end. (No narration either, though that wouldn't be needed if the film itself weren't so listless.) It's like a collection of outtakes. I would love to see the real movie they were cut from. I kept waiting for the movie to begin and then I realized I was stuck in the middle and it would end just as it began. The few barely coherent scenes involve elderly people who want love but can't find it or who don't think themselves capable of love anymore. We see people preparing dinner or dancing or playing mah jongg or sitting around the pool. A couple of good songs on the sound track at the end do not redeem this mish mash of dull clips. Though short, it felt long, and it definitely did not leave me wanting more.
