Review of "Untouchable"

OK as far as it went, but a bit superficial. Apparently based on a true story - although the helper wasn't black and the rich guy wasn't croseus in real life

Deliberately slow and thoughtful. Sound irrelevant (no words for first 10mins and most of the dialogue is deliberately inaudible because it doesn't matter) a deeply engrossing film with a classic Kelly Reichart ending (see Night Moves)
