Moviegoers are saying
June Squibb delivers a career-defining performance at 95 in this deceptively profound film that catches audiences off-guard with its emotional depth. While viewers praise Squibb's masterful acting that 'out-acts most working actors today,' many are still processing the film's surprising thematic weight beneath its seemingly cute exterior.

the real villian was the daughter because why did she publicly humiliate her instead of confronting her in private

Metacritic
Sep 25, 2025
This tonally tricky comedy-drama tackles aging, loss, the Holocaust, Jewishness, and the difficulty of determining the truth in a fake-news world. But Johansson’s well-meaning film couldn’t be more aggravating, and its biggest problem is its insistence that we find Eleanor so damn endearing, no matter what.

Johansson’s direction is serviceable if unremarkable, and one has to wonder why this particular script spoke to her as a directorial debut. Though it is morally complex and modest in scope, it doesn’t dive deep enough into the nuance here, opting for surface-level emotional revelations. It’s Squibb’s performance and appealing screen presence that enables this all to work — if it does.
