Grandma trailer: Lily Tomlin stars in one of the funniest films of 2015.
Grandma trailer
One of the biggest surprises at this year’s BFI London Film Festival was Paul Weitz‘s Grandma, a film that we reviewed very favourably at the time. The Lily Tomlin-led movie arrives in cinemas from next Friday December 11th, and we have a brand new trailer and poster to share with you.
Tomlin leads an all-star cast that also includes Julia Garner and Marcia Gay Harden.
Check out the new Grandma trailer below. First, here’s the synopsis.
Elle Reid (Tomlin) has just gotten through breaking up with her girlfriend when her granddaughter Sage (Garner) unexpectedly shows up needing 600 dollars 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.
To cement our thoughts as to how good this movie is, here’s a little from our Grandma review which we published back in October.
This is one-hundred percent Lily Tomlin’s movie. She appears in every scene, and her relentless delivery of countless, brilliant one-liners from Weitz’s excellent script, are a wonder to watch. She owns this movie.
Running at under 80-minutes, Grandma‘s pace is spot-on, and it’s hard to fault. Witty, heart-rendering; a film that will tug on the heart-strings and make you laugh out loud multiple times throughout, Grandma is not only the funniest films a this year’s BFI London Film Festival, where we first caught it, but flat-out one of our favourite comedies of the year.
Read our full review at the end of the link above and make sure that you go down to your local cinema from December 11th (UK) to check this wonderful movie out. Watch out for the new poster and Grandma trailer below.
