Poms is a hilarious comedy starring Diane Keaton that shows an unusual group of women ready to go beyond what is imposed as the right thing for the elderly.
“One area where “Poms” surprises is in its forthright and funny treatment of death”, wrote Katie Walsh in Los Angeles Times about the situation of Martha (Keaton) who after been diagnosed with cancer, decides to live her life calmly.
Everything changes when she arrives at the cheerful senior community in sunny Georgia. The relationship with her new peers will make Martha rethink her present and she ends up putting together an elderly cheerleader team to compete in a contest.
The cast of Poms
It is well known that Diane Keaton is a genre for herself but this time she is backed up by a great cast: Jacki Weaver, Pam Grier and Rhea Perlman.
“The main cast does far better than the script in conveying both a sense of sisterhood, and the exquisite poignancy of the friendships that bloom as the end of life approaches,” published the websiteRoger Ebert.
Sensitive, tender and fun, Poms is an unmissable comedy that shows the talent of these superb actresses.
