Plot – What's the story about?

Plot: In Eleanor The Great, the legendary 94-year-old actress June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who, after the devastating loss of her best friend, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own after moving to New York City. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.
