A touching film about aging and its real effects within a family, this one has a futuristic twist. Frank’s son, worried about his father’s diminishing mental abilities, buys him a butler-robot.
But once a cat burglar, always a burglar, and Frank - originally annoyed by the robot - soon finds that he has a synthesized partner-in-crime.
Robot and Frank is a well-crafted comedy with some poignant lessons, and a terrific starring performance from Frank Langella. It’s nice to see Hollywood treat the evolving world of robotics with class and just the right amount of tenderness. Highly recommended.
