The palm-tree-lined paradise known as The Villages, America’s largest retirement community located in Florida, promises a permanent vacation from the outside world. But for some residents, the fantasy is not all it’s cracked up to be.
From buzzy award contenders to hidden gems you might have missed during lockdown, catch up on this year's best and brightest docs on our big screen. Members get $5 tickets.
Escape winter and explore the palm-tree-lined streets of The Villages, America's largest retirement community located in Central Florida. Executive produced by Darren Aronofsky and The New York Times, Some Kind of Heaven cracks the manicured façade of this massive, Disneyland-like utopia, in which seniors pay for the promise of a permanent vacation from the outside world. But for some residents, the fantasy is not all it’s cracked up to be. Tracing the dreams and desires of a small group of villagers, this delightful candy-coloured doc offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.
