With SOME KIND OF HEAVEN, first-time feature director Lance Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, SOME KIND OF HEAVEN invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents – and one interloper – who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this candy-colored documentary offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.
“DREAMY. A mythbusting character study.”
-Beandrea July, The Hollywood Reporter
“Troubling, elusive, and enduring.”
-Eric Hynes, Film Comment
“Everything else in this lively, colorful production is pleasing…”
-Dennis Harvey, Variety
