The Mole Agent is a 2020 documentary/comedy about an old man hired and sent into a nursing home as a private investigator for a client that wants to know about the wellbeing of her mother. I had so many guesses about where this film was headed and none of them came true. I don't know if I've ever watched a film that's so heartwarmingly sweet and heartbreakingly sad simultaneously throughout the film. I love that this docucomedy played with the documentary form and I really enjoyed it despite the film having a difficult time sticking a landing.
