ELEANOR THE GREAT 

January 26, 2026 - 2pm and 7pm 

 Oscar nominee June Squibb (Thelma) stars in Scarlett Johansson’s thoughtful, provocative, and very funny feature directorial debut, about a nonagenarian who passes herself off as a Holocaust survivor.

 After the loss of her lifelong best friend, 90-year-old Eleanor uproots her quiet life in Florida for a fresh start in New York City. Struggling to find her footing, she unexpectedly bonds with a college student, Nina, and tells a small lie that grows more complicated as their friendship deepens. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut blends humour, heartbreak, and hope in a moving story about grief, reinvention, and the unlikely connections that help us heal. Anchored by a luminous performance from June Squibb, Eleanor the Great is a tender and funny reminder that it’s never too late to start over.
