Robot and Frank (2012)

This is an interesting movie. It has a great cast, solid to great performances, good pacing and a film style that really works. But the end is pretty sad. I'm not sure I want to watch it again, because that end was realistic.

Frank Langella plays Frank, an aging jewel thief who is sinking into dementia. He wants to live alone, but it's getting harder. His son gets him a home health care robot (this is a bit in the future), which Frank originally detests. But he soon figures out that his robot can help him become an active thief again.

The memory issue is not going to go away, however, and that's why the ending is sad. I'm glad it was.

Susan Sarandon and James Marsden are great in this. I recommend it.
