The Last Word

The Last Word (2017) is an American comedy-drama directed by Mark Pellington, streaming online on iFILM, with Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried leading the cast.

Harriet has spent a lifetime making sure things go her way — her business, her reputation, her legacy. Now in her eighties, she hires a young local journalist named Anne Sherman to write her obituary on her terms. The problem: the people who actually knew Harriet tell a very different story than the one she wants told.

MacLaine plays the role without softening the edges — Harriet is controlling, difficult, and frequently wrong, which makes the friendship that slowly develops between the two women feel earned rather than sentimental. Watch The Last Word (2017) online on iFILM.
