Filmworks Summerside presents: Eleanor The Great (2025)

Eleanor the Great is a warm, character-driven drama directed by Scarlett Johansson in her feature debut. June Squibb delivers a standout performance as Eleanor Morgenstein, a sharp-witted 94-year-old who moves to New York City after losing her closest friend.

In a new city, Eleanor navigates grief, family tension, and daily life. She forms an unexpected friendship with a young college student. Together, they explore memory, honesty, and connection.

The film blends humour with heartfelt reflection. It celebrates aging, resilience, and the courage to begin again.

This screening is part of our Harbour Highlights series. We hand-pick these films and bring them to Summerside because we believe audiences will love them. The series is supported by the Government of Canada, the Province of Prince Edward Island, and the City of Summerside.
