The Mole Agent, an intriguing fly-on-the-wall documentary from Chile, takes an unusual approach to the subject of the treatment of the elderly.

The Mole Agent is simultaneously both a very soft and very hard film to watch retrospectively in the context of the coronavirus, but it is always humane.

Sounds depressing. Its big reveal was that it was often the exact opposite. Sweet, charming and poignant, it was a meditation on growing old, loneliness and making a life when confined in an institution.

entle and lyrical, this spy movie is an unlikely crowd-pleaser.
