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.
