I watched this on hulu because the description was interesting. A person with dementia being mistreated, but they can't trust their own memory,, and people around them don't believe them.
Thats the description on hulu. The actual movie was much different and convoluted. the throwing in of the "big reveal" at the end was frankly stupid and unnecessary. I think having the movie be everything it was, minus the part about George having done... something? to the nurses mother (its not really clear what it is that he does, implications of rape/murder though) in my opinion it would have been more effective as a horror movie if the nurse was just a sadist looking for someone helpless to torment, than it is with the nurse having some sort of revenge plan.
And in order for the nurses plan to work, she relies very heavily on things just... falling into place. -How did she know he had dementia? Stokes don't always cause dementia -How did she know the son wouldn't check in with the hospital about her before hiring her? -Why was it not suspicious to the son that she was able to just, immediately move in with him -How did she know they wouldn't check the medication she was giving him? -George asked repeatedly for the nurse to be removed from his home, how did she know the son wouldn't just fire her
The granddaughter seemed to be the one with dementia honestly. -She did nothing after finding a rotting human head in the nurses belongings -She did nothing after she found out the nurse wasn't actually a nurse -Despite taking his medication, she doesn't notice the nurse is giving George random medication -After hearing her grandfather, who up until this point she thought had dementia so severe he killed his own cat, vaguely describe an incident she has no context for, she, without even allowing him to explain, decides its better to let him die
All in all this movie was alright. The idea was good, but unfortunately it fell short, because of unnecessary plot twists, and the assumption no one who watched it would think about it for too long.
