Is Anybody There?

Is Anybody There? (2009) — watch online at iFILM — a British drama from director John Crowley, with Michael Caine opposite a young Bill Milner. The setting is a small English care home in the 1980s, where ten-year-old Edward grows up surrounded by the elderly and dying. He's obsessed with what comes next — recording voices, hunting for traces of the dead, trying to figure out where people go.

Then Clarence arrives. A former stage magician, bitter and worn down, with no interest in making friends. The bond that forms between this fading old man and the morbidly curious boy gives both of them something they didn't know they needed. Caine plays a man stripped of every illusion he once performed — which is exactly what makes the performance land.
