Dir. Scarlett Johansson - 2025 - 98m - Valid for punch cards

In Eleanor The Great, June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.
"An emotionally rich and morally complex story built around well-defined characters and their own personal bouts with grief. It’s an impressive directorial debut for Johansson who proves to be keenly in touch with her characters and the material." - Keith Garlington, Keith & the Movies
"This charming film, with unexpected depth and humor, tells a story that, in lesser hands, would teeter on the edge of poor taste and mawkish sentimentality, but instead boldly exploits a sensitive topic to great effect." -Neely Swanson, Easy Reader (California)
