Is Anybody There?
UK 2008, 94 minutes
Dir. John Crowley
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama
Topics: Period 1980s, Late-life.
Aroview: Gentle, tearjerking drama set in an old folks home, where Michael Caine plays a retired magician who forms an unlikely bond with the curious son of the proprietors.
It is this sweet partnership that is the beating heart of the film, the potential sentimentality held at bay by an angry, heartbroken Caine and a morbidly obsessive young Milner (of SON OF RAMBOW fame). The rest of the retirees, played by numerous Brit stage veterans, provide refreshing, if rather hammy, comic-relief.

2 stars (Good Try) There is a great supporting cast but Caine for once puts in a patchy performance in being over dramatic at times. The screenplay is also melodramatic in part but the real turn off is the screeching kid who should have been drowned early in the piece. ~Tubbs
