Elle Reid (Lily Tomlin) has just gotten through breaking up with her girlfriend when her granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) unexpectedly shows up needing $600 before sundown. Temporarily broke, Grandma Elle and Sage spend the day trying to get their hands on the cash, as their unannounced visits to old friends and flames end up rattling skeletons and digging up secrets. Refreshingly unapologetic and candid, Grandma navigates the intricacies of relationships between three generations of women.

Critics Consensus: Boasting a stellar performance from Lily Tomlin and some powerfully empathetic work from writer-director Paul Weitz, Grandma is a dramedy that shouldn't have to ask you to visit.

With a strong script and great performances, Grandma should be on everyone’s movie list.

Richard Crouse

Good performances keep Grandma's relationships dynamic and by the time all is said and done the message of life goes on, hiccups and all, is subtly but powerfully enforced.

Really, it's just great to see Tomlin in the driver's seat again.

Lily Tomlin holds it all together superbly and her character is so refreshing - and so rare - to see on screen.
