The best thing about Grandma, other than Tomlin's furious and funny performance, is that Elle never gets too cuddly.

Both funny and unexpectedly moving.

It's a character study and morality play and bildungsroman, subtly executed and lovingly performed.

Lily Tomlin is simply phenomenal as the very liberal, short-tempered grandma. She hasn't been in a lot of movies of late, so it's easy to forget that while she's best known for her comedic work, she's always been a fine dramatic actress.

Writer-director Paul Weitz turns in a generous, handcrafted piece in which everyone shines.
August 31, 2016
Lily Tomlin and her female counterparts excel in this drama/comedy/road movie hybrid -- a warm, small film, not earth-shattering, but genuine.

Short, tart, yet unexpectedly sweet, Paul Weitz's "Grandma" is a small-scale character study - and, because that character is played by the great Lily Tomlin, it's mesmerizing, right up until its final frame.

Tomlin carries it off with a world-weary, deadpan delivery reminiscent of the great Buster Keaton.
September 24, 2015
The movie is both hysterically funny and heartbreaking, but Weitz somehow makes you laugh without making light of serious issues.

Grandma is a tiny, precious delight.

Weitz may not end up making us like this hard-nosed Grandma. Some of us, though, manage to end up understanding her. And that may be all that's needed.

With not a wasted frame in its taut 80 minutes, this is deserving of your attention as one of the year's best movies even if it's being released in the middle of August.
