Eleanor The Great – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
USA, English
Scarlett Johansson
Feature: 98 minutes
The perfect festival farewell, Eleanor the Great marks Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut and showcases a magnificent performance by June Squibb as a woman discovering that it’s never too late to begin again. After a devastating loss, Eleanor Morgenstein, 94, leaves Florida for New York City, where a chance friendship with a young student pulls her back into the world — and into a story she tells that begins to take on a life of its own. As humor and grief intertwine, Eleanor is forced to confront memory, truth, and the complicated ways we carry the past. Wry, tender, and laugh-out-loud funny, Eleanor the Great is a deeply human film about friendship, aging, and survival — one that leaves you smiling, misty-eyed, and wonderfully unsure whether your tears come from laughter or recognition.
