Amos

About This Movie

So, 'Amos' is this intriguing TV movie from '85 that dives deep into the struggles of its titular character, Amos Lasher. After losing everything, he ends up in Sunset Nursing Home, which at first glance seems like just another elder care facility. But man, it gets dark. That head nurse, Daisy Daws? She's got this iron grip on the place, and it really sets a tense atmosphere. The pacing is kind of slow, but it works, building up this sense of desperation and the will to escape. There’s a rawness to the performances that pulls you in, especially as the story unfolds. It delves into themes of loss, control, and resilience, all with a somewhat grim undertone. Definitely a unique piece for collectors interested in the offbeat side of made-for-TV dramas.
