It is very reminiscent of Earl Morris Vermont, but all British. The most entertaining thing about the film is the notion that nobody seemed to actually live there on purpose.

This will be all of us, should we live that long. A documentary crew could go to any retirement community in the developed world and found similar characters. Lonely old people with nothing but time and regrets. The amazing thing is, as guarded as these people are, they can't quite keep their secrets. Wonderful.

It is rather tragic to see the way in which most of the people in the film seem to want to do something new but just cannot take the risk.
