Mid-August Lunch
I saw this today but no-one else has mentioned it. It has a limited release but good reviews - am I really the only member to have seen it so far? It's about an Italian man who still lives at home and cares for his elderly mother, and how he's inveigled into looking after three more elderly ladies over a holiday weekend. The sort of gentle, affectionate, well-observed film where all the interest lies in the characterisation and interactions. And at 76 minutes it didn't outstay its welcome, either!
