The film from the series of non-hollywood low-budget films directed by Ted Melfi (this is his first feature film) “St. Vincent”, 2014, watched, seduced by the name of Bill Murray, who plays the main role there. We are talking about the accidental friendship of an elderly drunken Vincent and a boy Oliver, who moved with his mother to a house next door. The story, of course, is not super-original - he drinks, and uses the intimate services of a pregnant stripper, and plays at the races, and humites, and extorts money, and does not pay debts, but in fact he is a good man - he regularly visits his wife with Alzheimer's disease in an expensive boarding house, and he himself washes her underwear, although there they themselves can do it, and does not take it from there, although he is openly told to do it, if he does not pay the debt and does not pay the advance, he teaches the Russian, although she is supposed to protect the boy in an honest way for her in her house, even with a Russian, and she says that she does not help her friend, but she does not help her with a Russian. And the boy – an over-age smart boy – decides to write about him in his essay on the theme “Saints around us” (something like this, I definitely do not remember). Vincent's touched, everybody's applauding, etc. That is, the film is quite traditional happy ending. As I thought, the social realities there are somewhat embellished, but in general the film is not bad, although not a masterpiece.
