About This Movie

So, 'Her Name Is Zelda' is this fascinating documentary that gives us a raw look at Zelda Kaplan, who at 85 is still tearing it up in Manhattan's nightlife. It’s not just about the parties—though, trust me, they’re something else; it’s more about how she challenges the stereotypes of aging. The film dances between light-hearted moments and more serious reflections on womanhood and the passage of time. The pacing feels almost like a spontaneous conversation, shifting gears when you least expect it. What really stands out are Zelda's performances, her energy is contagious, and you can’t help but be drawn into her world.
