In the poignant and darkly comedic drama "Killing Eleanor," a struggling actress finds her life upended by an unconventional and ethically dubious proposition. Annika Marks stars as Toby, whose career is at a standstill when she is unexpectedly hired to be a companion for the sharp and terminally ill Eleanor, played by the formidable Jenny O'Hara. The job, however, comes with a shocking caveat from Eleanor's estranged daughters, portrayed by Jane Kaczmarek and Betsy Brandt: Toby is to help the ailing matriarch end her life on her own terms. Directed by Rich Newey from a script by Marks, the film navigates the complex, often humorous bond that forms between these two women from different worlds, challenging Toby's morals and awakening long-dormant family tensions. As their friendship deepens, Toby is caught between fulfilling her contractual duty and listening to her conscience, all while under the wary eye of a suspicious neighbor, Thomas Sadoski. This character-driven story masterfully blends drama with unexpected levity, exploring themes of autonomy, connection, and what we owe to one another at the very end.
