It has to hurt sales. If this documentary was accurate most folks moved there over 20 years ago. Can't imagine a 60ish person wanting to move there.

My mom moved there in 1986. It was a wonderful place to live back then.

DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. DON'T ADD INDOOR POOLS, DOG PARKS, Performing Art Centers, More Kilns so everyone can do pottery, etc.etc. etc.and beg the Morse Family to keep managing things.

I'm in for the begging part for sure. I feel that's the key to lasting success for us Villagers.

I thought it was odd the only person you see on the website is an entertainer. Maybe the OP could add something?

Can you tell us what was depressing about it? It was nominated for an Oscar last year (not that well-reviewed films can't also be bleak).

From the film's webset: "With Kings Point, director Sari Gilman tells the stories of five seniors living in a typical American retirement resort—men and women who came to Florida decades ago with their spouses by their sides and their health intact, and now find themselves grappling with love, loss and the universal desire for human connection. A bittersweet look at our national obsession with self-reliance, Kings Point explores the dynamic tension between living and aging—between our desire for independence and our need for community—and underscores our powerful ambivalence toward growing old."
