In The Last Word, Shirley MacLaine is Harriet Lauler, a once successful businesswoman in tight control of every aspect of her life. As she reflects upon her accomplishments, she's suddenly inspired to engage a young local writer, Anne Sherman (Amanda Seyfried), to pen her life's story. When the initial result doesn't meet Harriet's high expectations, she sets out to reshape the way she is remembered, with Anne dragged along as an unwilling accomplice. As the journey unfolds, the two women develop a unique bond which alters not only Harriet’s legacy, but also Anne's future. The Last Word is directed by American filmmaker Mark Pellington, of the films Arlington Road, The Mothman Prophecies, U2 3D, Henry Poole Is Here and I Melt with You previously. The screenplay is by Stuart Ross Fink. The film is premiering at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in January, before opening in theaters starting March 3rd, 2017. Interested?
