Film expects nvewer to accept that an elderly man who taught at a college at a college ( probably open admissions ) would refuse to leave his soon to be torn down apartment and have to be carried out. Cops would have taken him to Bellvue.
Neither Harry's journey to visit his children nor Carney's role or performance is of interest. Film is flat except for the man's catwho has a loot of screen time.
Another hard to take sequence is Tonto' death...Harry does not notice Tonto is acting strangelythen ct almost immediately dies at what seems to be an animal hospital...a place full of small cages . Film does not show what happened at hospital just the man saying good bye to his already dead cat in a cage. Shows the personality of the character...no more value minimal contact. Probably told the " hospital ..." vets rarely and I mean rarely do anything for ill animals that has value... to just get rid of the remains. Cause Harry is too busy living life to be bothered with cremains. Out of sight out of mind.
Without the cat film would get 0 stars.
