Young@Heart: Oh my. I had read on my friend Alisa's Twitter that she sobbed through the Coldplay song in this documentary about a chorus of older folk. I secretly mocked her, thinking, "Yeah, a Coldplay song. Silly pregnancy hormones." Well, I can tell you that I'm definitely, absolutely not pregnant and this movie made me so weepy and the Coldplay song just about put me over the edge. The trailers show a bunch of old people singing rock songs (the Ramones, the Zombies, Sonic Youth), and yes, there is that element and it's fabulous, but the documentary also touches on some of their lives and illnesses and the ending concert feels like an absolute triumph. I'd put this on one of my top documentary lists, absolutely!
