Amour

Like The Piano Teacher, this is not a movie that seeks to satisfy you. Its goal is to present the truth, and sometimes the truth isn’t pleasant. I’d say it’s more accessible than The Piano Teacher, but it is still incredibly difficult to watch. This movie gives a realistic depiction of aging and Alzheimer’s that does not feel held back in the slightest. No cheap happy endings, no non-diegetic emotionally manipulative music, no pointless scenes that solely exist to satisfy low attention spans, just an honest and emotional look at the hardships of old age. Do not expect a satisfying and overly stimulating movie going into this.
