"downstairs meeting", he has rich experience in rejecting guests!
The content of the film is too verbose and too slow. Finding a good reason is to show the world of the elderly, and a bad reason is that the Hollywood production line is too heavy. Once it is overwhelmed by the world's largest and most automated/brainless film production line, the film loses its great flavor and becomes like "processed food".
The screenwriter is very watery, not as good as the similar film "The Lonely Man"
