My ★★★½ review of Eleanor the Great on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/cS1hQx

When her best friend Bessie, a holocaust survivor, passes away, 94 year old Eleanor Morgenstein moves from Florida to New York to be with her daughter and her grandson. Her daughter, who has to work, drops her off at the local Jewish Community Center and she finds herself in a Holocaust Survivor’s Support Group.
