GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Matt Goodwin A very insightful documentary covering the many facets of aging. I laughed out loud several times and was equally touched and saddened at times. Very honest and unafraid. Sam as a character is complex and how he moves forward and is kind and compassionate in the face of serious struggle is nothing short of inspirational. Several of the characters in the film seem too good to be true, but the fact that they are makes is all the more endearing. I really appreciate the breadth of the topics covered, hitting on various fascets of the human experience as death is faced in such different ways. I highly recommend this documentary for the perspective it gives on life, regardless of your current age.

jamicalfee I'm not sure what I was anticipating from The Mayor. I guess I was expecting to laugh at some old folks saying some silly things and then go home, entertained. I did laugh, in actuality, very much, but there's so much more to it than that. The Mayor is deeply moving and thought provoking. It makes you consider what's important in life, what it will be like to take care of an aging loved one, and what it will be like to become elderly yourself. When it's funny, it is side-splitting. When it's touching, it does more than bring tears to your eyes. This film moves something deep within and makes for great conversation. Highly recommended!

Eitan Nir Jared Scheib's documentary gives you a charming look into life at old age. The film follows a character, Sam Berger, who is commonly known as "The Mayor" around his retirement home. He, and the characters around him, paint life in old age in a way that I had not considered before. The atmosphere at the retirement home almost feels like a college dormitory and the inhabitants certainly know how to live it up! In fact, my dad, upon finishing watching the film, turned to my mom and said, "So when are we moving in?" The characters are both extremely likable and relatable. They help us understand that old age is just another chapter in the book of life. I aspire to have the outlook on life that Sam Berger has.Well done, Jared, on a charming and heart-warming film. I enjoyed it very much.

gordon-bh I loved this documentary. And to be honest, I didn't know what to expect going into it, and not necessarily having an interest in the elderly, I debated with myself about whether or not to go. Fortunately, I did choose to go and I was blown away by how transfixing the story was. Not only was it did it have a great story line that followed a character that was delightful on screen(Sam), but it was also full of humor and heartfelt moments. The reality of death and those left behind was documented with care and respect. I was constantly amazed by the vulnerability of the characters with the intimate stories that they shared. You could see that such a trust was built during the creation of the film between the film-maker and the characters. I think the true value of this film comes from the vulnerability of the characters and their comfortability to share with the film maker what they are really feeling and thinking. This film not only makes me respect older people more, but also get kind of excited to become one one day.
