After a devastating loss, witty and proudly troublesome Eleanor (the ever-phenomenal June Squibb) decides to move from Florida to New York City for a fresh start. However, making new friends at 94 proves to be quite difficult. Longing for connection, Eleanor is befriended by Nina (Erin Kellyman, Blitz), a 19-year-old journalism student who recently lost her mother and feels estranged from her father (Oscar-nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor, The Life of Chuck). As Nina writes an article on Eleanor's history for her journalism class, their bond flourishes—but Eleanor's tale threatens to take on a dangerous life of its own.June Squibb delivered a knock-out performance in Thelma, one of the Maine Film Center's biggest hits of 2024, and she fully eclipses herself as the titular character in Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut. "At nearly 100 years old, Squibb is on a roll. Call it the Squibbaissance. Last year, she became an unlikely action hero in Thelma. Now she’ll make you cry in Eleanor."—Esther Zuckerman, Daily Beast.
