Keith Simanton's 16 Sundance 2015 Films I'm Most Excited to See12 of 16
Title: GRANDMA
Plot: Self-described misanthrope Elle Reid has her protective bubble burst when she has to help out her 18-year-old granddaughter, Sage.
Stars: Lily Tomlin, Judy Greer, & Julia Garner
Scoop: Director Paul Weitz made ABOUT A BOY, which everyone seemed to like, and IN GOOD COMPANY, which no one--except me--seemed to like, and then ADMISSION (see the IN GOOD COMPANY comment). I'm also alone in being the only person who is not, and never has been, a fan of Lily Tomlin. But with so many who are, I'm prepared to have the scales fall from my eyes and experience what everyone else has been enjoying.
I'm also intrigued by Julia Garner, who has a striking presence about her.
