Details

In The Last Word (2017), Harriet, a strong-willed retired businesswoman, takes control of her life by paying off her local newspaper to write her obituary in advance. She wants to ensure that her life story is told exactly as she wants. However, Anne, a young journalist tasked with writing the obituary, refuses to follow Harriet's script and is determined to uncover the truth about her life.

As Anne digs deeper, she discovers unexpected and surprising details about Harriet's past. Through their interactions, a unique and transformative friendship develops between the two women. Anne's insistence on finding the truth challenges Harriet's desire to control every aspect of her life, forcing her to confront her own beliefs and actions.

With a perfect blend of humor and emotion, The Last Word offers a compelling and thought-provoking story that will captivate audiences. It is a reminder that sometimes the truest and most meaningful stories are the ones that are unscripted and unexpected. Directed by Mark Pellington, this film is a must-watch for those seeking a heartfelt and inspiring cinematic experience.
