I highly recommend the film "The Savages". Released in December, 2007 and starring Laura Linney, Philip Seymour-Hoffman, and Philip Bosco, this is an unsentimental, realistic examination of the issues facing people with dementia and their families.
Linney and Seymour-Hoffman do an exceptional job of portraying the journey of two adult children suddenly confronted with the reality of their estranged father's dementia and the immediate necessity of finding him a nursing home.
