"Robot & Frank"

Netflix recommendation: "Robot & Frank." A near future darkly humorous sci-fi flick about an aging man with a past and his new robot helper who he grows to see as a friend. It has themes of old vs. new, the loss of self to mental degradation, reclaiming past glory, and family. All packed into a short 80-some minute feature. The dialogue and acting are wonderful. It really surprised me how much I liked it after viewing.
