A heart-warming film of Michel Franco who is also known as a creator follows an ocupation of a woman. She is a nurse who takes care patients in their last days. Throughout of film we can learn a meaningful lessons of life.
I was poised to reclaim Franco as an earthy humanist, peering into the grimmer nooks and crannies of our existence. Then, alas, came Chronic's disastrous punchline.
The whole movie is an exercise in ambiguity, designed to engender suspicion about activities that would ordinarily seem utterly benign, and that might very well be utterly benign.
Chronic doesn't traffic in cliché or glamorize sickness. Rather than spoon-feed platitudes, it presents failing bodies and leaves the audience wondering what to think.
For a drama that's as quiet and circumspect as "Chronic," it's a decidedly bold film, one that pulls few punches as it slowly peels away the emotional layers of its complex protagonist.
