Lost Art and Lost Youth or just plain lost

Packed In A Trunk is a worthwhile documentary about the discovery of a trove of paintings and prints by a very talented artist long forgotten.  The woman's work is fine but the gushing and grandiloquent descriptions get a bit tiresome relatively quickly.  The researchers are eager to paint Wilkinson as a figure of much greater import than i can accept.  Her legacy may be important and perhaps in the history of art colonies in Provincetown MA very important but the rewards seem much more an aspect of family pride.  The inclusion of a lengthy and giggly session with a psychic is very off-putting.  Still her art is a significant enough discovery to warrant close and further study and this film is sure to forward that end. 

The Grandad [also called The Grandfather] is an Icelandic comedy about fading youth, life decisions, regrets and rewards.  At the risk of sounding like a snob, I think it lacks sophistication or maybe the broad humor is beyond my grasp.  It's a pass.
