Critic Reviews

Eric Campos

It's difficult at first to tell whether this is a documentary or a fictional work and this makes Assisted Living all the more involving. Read full review

David Edelstein

Somehow, Assisted Living jells. Maggie Riley is astoundingly convincing, and she and Bonsignore's Todd have an unforced chemistry that catches you off guard. Read full review

Jonathan Curiel

Works more often than it doesn't. Read full review

Kevin Crust

Only 22 when he began shooting the film, Greenebaum displays a prodigious understanding of the treatment of the elderly in contemporary America. Read full review

Joe Mader

A curious film with real heart but questionable technique. This art house fodder is just quirky and fresh enough to catch on with audiences. Read full review

Peter L'Official

There's a finer line between peaceable pothead jocularity and just being a dick--and sometimes it's tough to tell whether Todd is more Jon Stewart or Tucker Carlson. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Parts of the film play like the world's slowest and most insensitive reality show (Who Wants to Be an Octogenarian?). Read full review

Really cute, won't win an Oscar, but it held my interest. It was a mix of sad, but also funny as real life is.

Assisted Living has really received some positive golden reviews but at the crux of it is that "there is truth inside every joke." Overall, definitely heartfelt and authentic feel to the story. Would recommend.
