Wrinkles

As I get older and, in turn, my parents as well, films like Wrinkles really hit home. This animated Spanish film is honest, poignant and sometimes funny. The story follows a man to an old age home and explores the realities of that lifestyle with gloves-off. It explores family, friendship, sexuality, health and freedom in the later years of life. Beautifully drawn, this film hit a lot of raw emotions for me, but the end made me smile. Lovely film.
