Eleanor the Great, or the Great Pretender?

from Stories in Motion · host D & J

We just saw Eleanor the Great at Cannes — Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut aims for quirky comedy and heartfelt drama but ends up lost somewhere in between. We unpack June Squibb’s brash performance, the film’s questionable Holocaust plot twist, and why this crowd-pleaser never quite earns its sentiment.
