The late great Glenda Jackson is Maude, an elderly pensioner dealing with dementia and the disappearance of her friend, Elizabeth, after a day of gardening. But what keeps coming back to Maude, in bits and pieces, is the disappearance of her sister, Suki, 70 years before! Much of the mystery of the movie is involved with what exactly is Maude remembering -- is from now or seven decades ago? And through it all, her daughter Helen (a patient yet frustrated Helen Behan) and granddaughter Katy (a sweet and likable Nell Williams) are there to help Maude as are home health aides and cleaners, all showing that it truly takes a village, especially when dealing with someone with Alzheimer's. Other than "Still Alice" starring Julianne Moore, this is one of the best depictions I have ever seen of a character dealing with dementia, memory loss, or Alzheimer's. Having been up close and personal to this malady myself, I was really moved by the depiction of this frustrating and maddening condition. And let me be clear, Glenda Jackson is phenomenal as an extremely unlikable and ornery character to the point that we still root for her in the end despite how mean she is to everyone, especially those who are there every step of the way to lend a hand. Patience is indeed a virtue! But all our mysteries solved? Well, they're resolved but it ain't no happy ending, but an ending nonetheless. B
