Eleanor the Great

Imagine a movie about a 94-year-old lady named Eleanor. That's almost as old as your great-great-grandparents! She lives in sunny Florida. In the movie, she makes a new friend who is only 19, like a big kid in high school. This movie is called 'Eleanor the Great' and it's all about their special friendship. It's like finding a best buddy in the most unexpected place!

This movie is super new, like a brand-new toy! It was first shown at a big movie party called the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025. Then, everyone could watch it in movie theaters starting on September 26, 2025. It's like waiting for your birthday to get a special present. The movie is directed by a famous actress, Scarlett Johansson, who you might know from other movies!

This movie is special because it shows that friendships can happen between anyone, no matter how old or young they are. Eleanor is 94, and her friend is 19. That's a HUGE age difference, like a tiny ant and a giant elephant!

The movie talks about important things like growing up, remembering people we love, and how to be a good friend. It's like learning valuable lessons without even realizing it!

The person who had the big idea for this movie and wrote the story is Tory Kamen. And guess what? The famous actress Scarlett Johansson, who you might have seen in superhero movies, is the one who directed it!

This is her very first time being the boss of a movie. The main actor playing Eleanor is June Squibb, who is a fantastic actress. It's like a whole team of super-talented people making something amazing!
