The need for $630

Grandma (2015)

Written & directed by Paul Weitz this film stars Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, Marcia Gay Harden and Judy Greer. A grandmother struggling with her own issues tries to help her granddaughter collect up the money she needs to pay for an abortion.

This is a decent film with a good heart to it looking at three different generations of women in the same family and the relationships between them. While I did enjoy the film I am not sure it was ever as funny or emotional as it could have been. I was slightly surprised to see the film had a male writer and director which maybe detracts a little from the films authenticity.


3/5
