 How About You Director: Anthony Byrne Writer: Jean Pasley Cast: Hayley Atwell, Joss Ackland, Vanessa Redgrave Distributor: Strand Releasing Country: Ireland DVD Release Date: April 21, 2009 Synopsis: How about You tells the story of Ellie (Hayley Atwell- Brideshead Revisited, The Duchess), a footloose and fearless young woman who is left in charge of a residential home for senior citizens owned and run by her older sister Kate (Orla Brady), over the Christmas holiday season. Ellie’s heartwarming friendship with wheelchair bound Alice (Joan O’Hara), in the twilight of her life, begins Ellie’s journey into adulthood. Her youth and inexperience brings her into bitter conflict with the four grumpy old residents known as the “hardcore”: retired screen beauty Georgia (Vanessa Redgrave), spinster sisters Hazel (Imelda Staunton) and Heather (Brenda Fricker), and a reformed alcoholic judge, Donald (Joss Ackland). The film deals with the hilarious antics of these uncivilized seniors, and the gradual solidarity that develops between the residents and Ellie.
