But sans everything? Not so, say directors Chase Whiteside, Erick Stoll in their documentary \u201cAm\u00e9rica.\u201d This is Erick Stoll\u2019s freshman full-length movie though you might figure his politics if you see \u201cGood White People,\u201d his short doc about gentrification. For his part Chase Whiteside unfolds his first full-length doc, though figuring his politics from his short feature \u201cLifelike,\u201d about a taxidermist, doesn\u2019t sound political, but who knows? Documentary shorts are not easy to find even in New York.<\/p>\n<p>While Americans are known to put their elderly and fragile oldsters into nursing homes, it\u2019s a clich\u00e9 that Chinese would never elect to do this but rather to care for the parents, who gave them so much, at home. Now it turns out that some Mexicans are doing the same for their grandmother, Am\u00e9rica, who is 93 years old at the movie\u2019s opening and, though suffering from dementia, she can recognize the terrific grandchildren who are caring for her. \u201cAm\u00e9rica\u201d is filmed over three years first in Puerto Vallarta where Diego can be found riding a unicycle through a crowd and later demonstrating at least amateur level acrobatics with his brothers Bruno and Rodrigo.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers\u2019 grandmother Am\u00e9rica lives in the state of Colima, a woman who may no longer be a vibrant human being but who lucks out by having grandsons to take care of her. Diego is the most committed. He bathes her, talks to her, kisses her while straightening her hair, and forces her to exercise when all she wants to do is return to her bed. In one scene he demonstrates tough love by insisting that she stand up straight, though Am\u00e9rica wants at least to hold his hand.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, when she suffers a fall, her son Luis is blamed and sent to prison for eight months though he is quite innocent of bad intent, and it falls to the brothers, already submerged in Am\u00e9rica\u2019s care, to get their father released. How they pay for a lawyer, and how they deal with a judge\u2019s offer to release the man for 25,000 pesos ($1400) is not clear though the three argue, but finances and commitment to Am\u00e9rica are debated among the three, in one case leading to a physical fight. The good thing about the whole affair is at least the three threesome are together again. At times they come across like philosophers in conversation, though we have no idea how much education they\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n<p>We learn something about the Mexican social care system, a country that is awash with drug murders but still funds social workers who seem genuinely to care for their clients\u2014at least while director Stoll\u2019s camera is on them. (The directors share stunning fluency in their editing while Stoll doubles as director of photography.) At fifty-two minutes in length viewers will gain insights into extreme old age, grandchildren, and the social and legal systems of our friends to the south.<\/p>\n<p><strong>52 minutes. \u00a9 2019 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B+<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B+<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AM\u00c9RICA Lifelike Docs Reviewed for Shockya.com &amp;
