In the span of a single, frantic day, Elle Reid, a fiercely independent and acerbic poet played by Lily Tomlin, finds her life turned upside down when her pregnant granddaughter, Sage, portrayed by Julia Garner, arrives in desperate need of $600 for an abortion before the clinic closes. With no cash and her credit cards cut off after a recent breakup, Elle reluctantly agrees to help, embarking on a chaotic road trip through Los Angeles to scrape together the funds. As they visit a series of colorful characters from Elle's past—including a former lover, a tattoo artist, and a resentful daughter played by Marcia Gay Harden—the journey becomes a raw and humorous exploration of family secrets, personal regrets, and the unbreakable bond between generations. Directed by Paul Weitz, this intimate and sharply written drama balances biting wit with genuine emotional depth, anchored by Lily Tomlin's powerhouse performance. The film’s 78-minute runtime keeps the tension palpable as Elle and Sage race against time, confronting the messy realities of choice, responsibility, and the enduring strength of women supporting one another.
