Happy Opening Night! LA Film Fest Kicks Off with Lily Tomlin in Grandma
The 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival is officially underway! Last night, we kicked off with the LA premiere of writer-director Paul Weitz’s Sundance hit Grandma. Lily Tomlin stars as Elle Reid, a septuagenarian lesbian poet whose partner recently passed away, and whose rebound relationship even more recently fell to pieces.
When Elle’s teenage granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) seeks her help in a moment of crisis, the two of them take off on an LA odyssey of sorts, searching every corner of the city and contacting every friend they have to get Sage out of trouble—unearthing more than a few of each other’s secrets along the way.
