Robot & Frank

— “Robot & Frank” was something of a surprise. With Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden, and Liv Tyler, I knew it would be halfway decent, but I didn’t expect it to be quite so captivating and fun in a low-key way. Another look at aging and the things that make us what we are, as well as the importance of memory, both human and computer. This is a decent, semi sci-fi, comedy/drama with an imaginative and twisting plot. Frank Langella is a wonder, keeping everything intimate and real.
