Assisted Living is a remarkably moving look at the prisons in our midst that most of us manage to ignore until we need them. Apr 22, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Authentically unconventional -- opening in the form of an almost convincing mock documentary -- but it gradually evolves into something more deeply affecting. Apr 14, 2005 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
