Movie review
From Time Out New York
Some red flags for moviegoers: How About You is set in an old folks’ home at Christmas. Memories are all that keep these codgers cogitating in a geriatric institution that, with its billiard table and country-inn dining room, is more chintzy B&B than God’s waiting room. Take-charge, twentyish Ellie (Atwell) injects life into the residents’ dotage, but not even Vanessa Redgrave and Imelda Staunton can elicit a gasp out of the wheezing script.Author: Anna King
