Coles Street PotholeGRANDMA (2015) ⭐⭐⭐
Elle (Lily Tomlin) is an ancient lesbian poet having a bad day—she's still getting over the death of her long-term partner and having a messy breakup with her current girlfriend. The day is made worse when her granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) shows up needing $630 for an abortion, money that Elle doesn't have. What follows is an Odyssean journey as the two of them crisscross Los Angeles to comb through Elle's past friends and lovers trying to scrape up the money.
Tomlin is the engine of this tale (age 76!), delivering a high-energy, mouthy, abrasive irritant who calls everyone out on their shit. Garner gets her role just right—somewhat unknowing, but also knowing just enough to correct things. Sam Elliott has an excellent cameo as patriarchy personified. Watch this movie if you want to see cranky old people demonstrate to the young that life is complicated and long.
