After she’s dumped in a nursing-home because her family can’t afford her care, a meek grandmother and a motley-crew of exploited residents attempt to steal back enough money from the corrupt facility owners to return home.
I think the logline is great, but perhaps I would like to see something more exciting than 'steal back enough money'. Can you make that more visual? Like 'crack the safe in the owner's yacht', or something more appealing to our visual imagination... In this logline, the film seems to fall in that loRead more

Your reasoning makes perfect sense, dpg. As a hook, it is strong. But it doesn't promise me a full story. It feels like this logline only covers 15 minutes of the film.
