Event Description

(Comedy, 2024, PG-13, 97 mins.)

Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother.  With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency.  In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business despite what her daughter Gail, son-in-law Alan, or grandson Danny might believe.

Starring June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, and Richard Roundtree.
