This is a real "indie" movie: a small story about people interacting with each other as they do in real life. It's very funny and moving. Lily Tomlin is superb as a feisty, provocative mother and grandmother. If she were a kid, she'd be sent to her room after washing her mouth out with soap. But she's all guts, heart and hurt while being sometimes truly insensitive. Her grand-daughter is a child of now, facing the kinds of challenges young women with neglectful mothers and absent fathers have to deal with. And her mother is a very successful but out of touch-with-her-own feelings woman who even her own mother is afraid of. There are some wonderful moments in this film. Not for blockbuster action movie fans. But if you love and appreciate human foibles, irony, wit, humour and feeling, you'll enjoy this. A kind of grandmother/granddaughter road movie, where there's no violence but lots of real-life human-scale action. It's a movie where writing and acting shine!
