Somehow, Assisted Living jells. Maggie Riley is astoundingly convincing, and she and Bonsignore's Todd have an unforced chemistry that catches you off guard.
Works more often than it doesn't.
Yet for all its willful blurring of the lines between documentary and fiction, Assisted Living is the least self-conscious of movies.
A curious film with real heart but questionable technique. This art house fodder is just quirky and fresh enough to catch on with audiences.
There's a finer line between peaceable pothead jocularity and just being a dick--and sometimes it's tough to tell whether Todd is more Jon Stewart or Tucker Carlson.
Parts of the film play like the world's slowest and most insensitive reality show (Who Wants to Be an Octogenarian?).
