Overview

With a new iPhone, an apartment near the Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband, Marnie Minervini has happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori, a successful (but still single) screenwriter, and smother her with motherly love. But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others - as well as her own - and find a new purpose in life.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warm, gently comic portrait of a widow learning to live for herself after years of being defined by her marriage and motherhood. It's a film about making space for both love and independence, told with genuine affection for its flawed, well-meaning characters.
