	Assisted Living (2003): Michael Bonsignore, Maggie Riley - PopMatters Film Review
		More precisely, he's bored and depressed working as a janitor at Meadow View, an assisted living facility in rural Kentucky, weaving his mop and bucket round wheelchairs, playing Scrabble with and delivering patients to on-site medical assorted or bingo games, pretending not to notice his boss (Clint Vaught) is drinking.
		And this is the premise of Assisted Living, structured in part as a series of documentary-style interviews with them, as they recall Todd's last day (he's fired), wondering at his seeming inability to take responsibility for his own actions, much less the folks left occasionally -- if unthinkingly -- in his care.
		Shot at a real assisted living home, the Masonic Homes of Kentucky, and featuring real staff members and residents, the film uses its part-documentary structure to explore such profound fictions, the ways all narratives, all identities, might be understood as efforts to stave off daily, unfixable fears -- of incoherence, of loss, of rejection.
