Their interactions reveal a close bond shaped by isolation and poverty, contrasting their former wealth with their current circumstances.
What Critics Say
One of the most haunting documentaries in a long time. Two classic eccentrics who refuse to live the way they're supposed to, but by the film's end we see that they live fully, in ways of their own choosing.
