An initially breezy family comedy about mothers, daughters and abortions that slowly sneaks up on you and packs a major wallop.
Full reviewLily Tomlin (I Heart Huckabees) is misanthropic Elle in this comedy from Academy Award-nominated director Paul Weitz (About a Boy). When her 18-year-old granddaughter, Sage (Julia Garner, Electrick Children) comes crashing through her heavily bordered life, the pair go on a day-long trip to sort out their separate life crises – Elle dealing with the past and Sage bracing for the future.
