For someone who believes a film should last 90 minutes the Irishman's 3 hours plus is excessive. But, it does hold the attention. It is one of the most depressing and negative films I have ever seen. That is not to say it isn't worth watching. Scorsese weaves his magic and elderly actors' performances are interesting, although despite electronic trickery their bodies look old throughout.
The Fundementals of Caring is worth your time, amusing and portrays aspects of serious disability realistically, IMHO. However, Craig Roberts, the actor playing Trevor does not have a physical disability and so there is an issue with the film in that respect.
Physical disability rarely features as prominently in cinema, and it is presented with some sensitivity.
I'm intending to watch The Upside, it will be interesting to compare how that film handles physical disability as a central aspect of the story.
We've watched Molly's Game and something else I've forgotten. That's not to say they were bad tho.
