Do not let the title deceive you. Elianor the Great Not some royal fashion epic in 1566. Instead, the first orientation of the wonderful and rich Scarlett Johansson is a small but beautiful story of a 94 -year -old woman named Elianor Morginsen, who, at the point in life where most of them just abandoned, package her bags and move from Florida to New York City near her daughter and her grandchildren.
She plays her 95 -year -old in June, who was impossible: Start a completely new profession in the mid -1990s as a pioneering star. After beating last season Thilma, Where the movement's intersections showed in the starring role, and she now finds a completely different kind of title as a woman designed to be alone, but she fell into a small white lie aimed at getting out of control. The Sony Pictures Classics and Tristar Pictures version was its first global show today at the United Nations.
Sad after the sudden death of her colleague in the room, PC (Rita Zohar's exciting), who lived with her for 11 years, now feels lonely in the big city despite the daughter of (Jessica Hisht) who is looking to put her in her home. It is very independent of Which – which One day, she is looking for people to talk to them, mistakenly stumbled in the group of Jewish Holocaust survivors. PCi was one of these survivors, and Elianor heard her devastating story about camps and Nazis several times. Eleanor is not Jewish, but when she is invited to sit with others, she does not resist the opportunity to tell the story of PCi. Only one small problem: it makes it its king, and here the lie can roll down the hill without anyone stopping it.
As it turned out, there is also a young student, Nina (Irene Kielman) is making an article about this group for her university class and approaching Eleanor to be the distinctive survivor after hearing the experience of life (in fact Bice). Initially, Lillianor only believes that Nina can be a friend, so you agree to meet the sessions.

Taking this one step forward is the fact that Nina's father, Roger Ejiofor, coincides with a better local news broadcaster. After seeing his daughter's article on Elianor, he decided to make him a special report on the news, while giving lies on a wider scale. From this point onwards, it becomes more complicated.
Johannson, who works with the scenario of Tony Kamin, keeps all very sensitive and reminded of wonderful films in New York City about the humanitarian situation, and with her photographer Helen Lovart, it really picks up the city. The latest example I can think about in the story of New York City is like this is Melissa McCarthy, starring in Can you forgive me? Who was about a writer began to falsify messages from famous people. This one got a few Oscar nominations, and I will not be surprised to hear a lot about him Elianor the Great During the award season, especially when it comes to Squibb, whose moving performance is simply great; There is no other word for that. She completely inhabits this character, and you really feel it because everything you really do is to keep PCi's memory alive, its grief over her loss is very deep. It just goes out of control.
Zohar has some scenes in the role of Rita near the beginning, but she gets an amazing monologue telling her own story to Elianor in Flashback later. As Nina, British actress Kelman shines in the role of a young, enthusiastic journalist who befriends a friend believed to be a Holocaust survivor. Ejiofor plays his father with a reserved force, and does not leave his pent -up grief and solve it due to the loss of his wife and the surface of her mother. In some respects, he and Eleanur are in a state of denial and all the treatment of their grief in ways will have consequences.

The allegations of the managers whose directors, Ellen Lewis and Kate Springs, have worked here, including, based on the urge of Johansson, to request the actual survivors of the Holocaust as members of the Elianor group. Using the SHOAH recommendations, they did so completely, and this beautiful movie gives more than a sense of originality. There will be no dry eye at home for this one.
