GRANDMA

We both rated this movie a 9. Lily Tomlin is a lesbian feminist pro-choice grandmother of Sage who needs $630 for an abortion.

Elle (Tomlin) helps Sage by visiting several friends - past and current -  and lovers and  the father of  Sage's baby (irresponsibly clueless) and also Sage's mom.

The dialogue was marvelous; snappy and hilarious and witty and honest. The scenes at the abortion clinic and when Elle visits her former flame (played by Sam Elliott who is referred to in the film as a Biblical patriarch; wow; he is handsome.) were so believable. Nothing was forced or overboard emotionally.

And the ending was perfect.
