Friday Films: Lucky Grandma

End your week with a matinee! Join the Parker Hill Library on May 24 for a showing of Lucky Grandma, in which an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese grandma goes all in at the casino, landing herself on the wrong side of luck - and in the middle of a gang war.

Director Sasie Sealy brings to life a dark comedy about immigrant life, the vulnerabilities of aging and an unexpected friendship. Set in alleyways underground mahjong parlors with a cast of richly drawn characters (including Taiwanese movie star Corey Ha), Lucky Grandma is a love letter to Chinatown and an homage to all the badass elderly women who inhabit it.

Run time: 1 hr 27 minutes; Not Rated; Closed captioning available.
