Synopsis
Dear Eleanor (2016) is a gentle coming-of-age road movie you can watch online on iFILM. It's autumn 1962, the Cuban missile crisis has everyone bracing for the end, and two high-school girls do the opposite of hiding — they get in a car and drive clear across the country.
Their destination is Eleanor Roosevelt, the idol one of them wants to reach with a letter before the chance slips away. Liana Liberato and Isabelle Fuhrman carry the whole trip, picking up brief turns from Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson and Josh Lucas along the highway. Director Kevin Connolly keeps it low on drama: the road matters more than the arrival, the friendship more than the history lesson. A simple, warm 89 minutes — the kind of small, kind-hearted film you put on when you want sweetness instead of another catastrophe. Stream Dear Eleanor (2016) online on iFILM.
