Grandma's reviews
Media reviews
New York Post
'Grandma' is extremely well-acted, full of delightful surprises, and effectively the pro-choice 'Juno'.
The Wrap
The moving and witty day-in-the-life offers up a career highlight not just for Tomlin but also for Sam Elliott and writer-director Paul Weitz.
The Playlist
The best part about 'Grandma' is the sensitive and insightful script by Weitz?every line is instantly quotable, little nuggets of sardonic life wisdom that should be needlepointed onto a pillow.
Time
Weitz knows his muse. But he?s smartly made room for Tomlin to explore her own wisdom, to look into a mirror (literal and figurative) of an older woman?s past and present with remorse, tears and, best of all, delighted laughter at discovering something new in herself. At 75, Tomlin remains the coolest.
The Wrap
"'Grandma's both smart and sweet, mature and racier (...) Undoubtedly, one of the best films of the year."
Cinemanía
"Because 'Grandma' is, a female and feminist film."
New York Times
"There's a lot to praise in this sweet and smart comedy about solidarity and intergenerational conflicts ... But honestly, the wonder that is 'Grandma' can be summarized in two words. Lily Tomlin"
Variety
"An initially slight comedy about mothers, daughters and abortions approaching stealthily that makes you bite the dust (...) This study should constantly surprising characters deserves awards spread between Tomlin and at least one of his co-stars."
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
"The resources of comedy perfectly align with the sensitivity of the drama, without falling into sentimentality, to portray three women and their shared independence from the male world."
Rolling Stone
Prepare yourself for a Lily Tomlin tour de force.
