I am a nuse also, I think that this movie was great! It was a little sad but it brings to light all the lonely people left aside. It lets us see that there is still hope for everyone even if for a few minutes. Let not forget about our family members with dementia or anyother health problem that might set them apart.

I have worked in hospitals and nursing homes caring for all ages and all kinds of patients and residents. I have noticed the same as you. Families don't come to see their loved ones as often..so I would go and sit and talk to the patient or resident on my breaks. It was great to see them smile. They seem so happy when you take five or ten minutes of your time to share with them.

Im interested to watch a movie featuring dementia. I gives us idea of what it is and show us the lives of the people struggling to it with their loved ones. I hope to see a movie that could give some inspiration on how to deal live amids this challenge. I want to see many perspectives of it and understand in a more broader sense what life meant to be for a victim and for their family.
