If you loved Henry Poole Is Here, try The Last Word

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Mark Pellington, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Henry Poole Is Here, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Last Word is

Here's a film about controlling your own narrative, in life and death. Harriet, a wealthy retiree, hires a local writer to ensure her life story is told her way. What begins as a business transaction blooms into something thornier. It's a film that, to its credit, does end.
