Dear Eleanor

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Eleanor' is this quirky little road trip flick set in the early 60s, right in the middle of all that Cuban missile crisis tension. You’ve got two teenage girls, both restless and searching for something more than their small-town lives. Their quest for Eleanor Roosevelt becomes this metaphor for seeking answers in chaotic times. The performances are charming, especially the camaraderie between the leads; it feels genuine. The film has this nostalgic vibe—like a time capsule—with its period music and outfits that really capture the era's essence. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of adds to that road trip feel, you know? It's a mix of comedy and drama that highlights friendship against a backdrop of uncertainty. A unique take on a coming-of-age story, for sure.
