This seems to be a trope of many films depicting some kind of brain damage/injury.
Saul's dementia is all over the place. He remembers Sylvia but the not the waitress of the restaurant he visits all the time or his "favourite".
She accuses him of rape and then backs off when she finds out he was not even at her school when it took place. She mistakes a rapist? Never explained.
I was massively uncomfortable with the consent issue. And thought if the sexes were reversed and it was a woman impacted with dementia would it have been OK for the male to have sex with her? A resounding NO was my response.
I understood his brother being upset as he was the responsible adult and concerned for Saul. And then oddly, Saul remembers he paid for the house, out of the blue. Saul has no backstory to justify this. Whatsoever.
Sylvia's incest by her father is revealed but then again, her brother in law is angry about her talking about incest. What's with him?
An oddly disjointed film, begging more questions than it answers.
For instance how can Sylvia, a single mother treat her job as if it's just a hobby she can waltz in and out of at leisure?
The cast is great doing their level best with the uneven script. Hence the 5/10.
An abrupt ending. As if no one knew what to do when it was time to wrap it up. And two impoverished people (no source of income?) shack up together.
Waste of time.
