Poms

About This Movie

Poms (2019) is a charming mix of comedy and drama that captures the essence of late-life reinvention. Directed by Zara Hayes, the film has this warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the cheer squad, even if you're just watching from your couch. The pacing flows nicely as we watch Martha, played by Diane Keaton, slowly come out of her shell, thanks to Sheryl, portrayed by Jacki Weaver, who brings this infectious energy. The theme of friendship in unexpected places is strong here, and the practical effects of the cheerleading routines add a delightful touch, showcasing the genuine spirit of the characters. It’s a unique take on aging and finding joy, with solid performances that resonate.
