Grandma - 2016 - 7/10
[Image: 21kz2o1.jpg]
Inventive “road movie” starring Lily Tomlin as no-nonsense elder, helping granddaughter.
Narrative transpires in one day. as the pair drive from friends to family to rivals.
From the sorry-ass boyfriend to the ex, trying to raise the money for an abortion.
Each encounter is a mini-short story. Shrewdly done to reveal “grandma” history and character.
Very much the small film, shot in 19 days, micro budget, yet a strong cast gives top performances.
Funny, acid-tongued. The DVD has worthwhile “making of” doc and a Q&A bonus.
