Eleanor the Great Reviews

Funny, emotional and overall simply excellent.

February 2, 2026

Was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Beautiful story!

Honestly, this film was devastating. Starts off sad, then moves to a somewhat heartfelt story of two people who couldn’t be more different becoming friends, then ending on a happier note. The characters were very well cast, and SJ did a great job directing her first feature film

Loved this so much! Excellently executed

What a directorial debut 👏
“Why do we isolate at the exact moment we need human connection the most?”This was touching, heartbreaking, and funny. hard to watch at times. The things grief does to us and what it makes us do. Amazing acting from everyone. Eleanor you diva. 8.5/10

This old lady crushed it. Her character was so funny, so passionate, so enjoyable to watch. Really powerful themes of friendship and forgiveness. Although the movie seemed like a low budget film, it still was really really good!

OH MY GOD. Such a beautiful yet heart breaking movie. I came into this movie not knowing what it was about. Thought it would be more of a comedy, boy was I wrong. Beautiful message about friendship and grief.

All hail June Squibb

i had no idea what this was about before going into it, i just knew that it was directed by Scarlet Johansson. overall, it was touching and the acting was great, but something was off for me. despite that, it is still a decent directorial debut.

June is honestly one of my favorites because she is really good at playing the badass Grandma which just reminds me of my grandma. It'll pull at the heart strings for sure but definitely worth it.

A heartwarming, emotional and well written film. June Squibb is still incredible at 94 years old. A must watch

I get it, but did she really not think of the consequences

Lovee june but couldnt finish great acting tho

I love June Squibb

ok

a very touching and moving film with beautiful message. recommend!

Very good and touching movie. Very interesting story about two old friends and the survivor of the holocaust.

I love seeing June Squibb in lead roles
