Eleanor the Great (2025)

In Eleanor The Great, June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.

“A resonant story that bridges generational gaps, Eleanor the Great is the kind of film that will make you laugh, cry, and hug everyone you love.”
Rotten Tomatoes

“Johansson and her excellent cast nail the big moments and revel in the small ones.”
The Times

““Eleanor the Great” is a moving study of grief, loneliness and aging. But each of the main characters has something missing in their lives, a hole to fill inside of them, and Johansson gives her actors the space to explore.”
San Francisco Chronicle

“Squibb is absolutely wonderful from beginning to end.”
