Robot and Frank (DVD)
It's hard to know where to begin discussing Robot and Frank. It is a social commentary about aging, dementia, public libraries and ethics. Set in the near future, it is a story about an aging jewel thief who is given a robot by his son. The robot's only directive is to help Frank with his memory loss. Frank then teaches the robot to steal. Frank has a crush on the local librarian who is deleting all the books that are left. They are making way for the virtual library experience.
This charming movie has social satire with biting humor but ultimately it is about families. I can't recommend this movie enough. It has something for everyone.
