National Treasure Lily Tomlin Stars in Indie Drama, Tickets Available for Tonight's Premiere

Acerbic aging poet Elle Reid (Lily Tomlin) is reeling from a recent breakup while continuing to mourn the death of her longtime partner. Yet Elle must table her misanthropy when her teenage granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep in need of $600 and a ride. What ensues is an urban road-trip in Elle’s vintage Dodge to visit old friends and flames, rattling skeletons and digging up secrets all over town as the unlikely duo try to rustle up the cash over the course of a single day.

Tomlin hits a career high point in Paul Weitz’s caustically funny and poignant family drama about the precarious circumstances that force us to confront our pasts, presents, and futures. Featuring a sterling supporting ensemble that includes John Cho, Laverne Cox, Sam Elliott, Judy Greer, and Marcia Gay Harden, Grandma is a touching and delightful cinematic gem.
