Chronic

Watch Chronic (2015) online on iFILM — Mexican director Michel Franco's restrained drama, which shared the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes 2015. Tim Roth plays David, a home-care nurse for terminally ill patients. A French-Mexican co-production.

David is composed, reliable, and unnervingly good at being present for people who are dying. Away from his patients, he barely functions. The film watches — quietly, without commenting — as the line between care and need dissolves. No score, no dramatic punctuation. Just a man and a series of rooms where time is running out.
