Programmer Quotes “Not the movie you have in your head”
Gardner says: Yo must be saying “First one is a French tear-jerker, huh?!?”  I was originally turned off by this film for fear of cheap pathos, but after hearing it is a unique take on a depression subject, I will reconsider.

Title Old Cats
Logline “Isadora and Enrique, an elderly couple, live a comfortable life with their two ample cats in a handsome high-rise apartment overlooking the park. Isadora is struggling with a bout of dementia when her daughter, Rosario, and her butch female lover, Hugo, drop in for a coked-up visit to pitch their latest get-rich scheme—and attempt to snatch the flat right out from under Isadora.”

Quotes “Charming little comedy”
Gardner says: I love the premise of this movie and that their take is comedic as opposed to massively depressing. However, I am finding mixed descriptions of this and see it listed as a drama.

I would rate it higher, but for my wimpy aversion to subtitles and the number of great movies out there.
