The Last Word (2017)

This was a remarkably enjoyable movie, that I would definitely recommend.  The critics would roundly disagree with me, but I live in an America that elected Trump and so movies that display a certain amount of that thinking right out there are par for the course.  We now have to figure out how to combat that because not only do ordinary folks feel like it is flat out okay to flaunt their white privileged as superiority rather than an uneven playing field, they are getting elected to office and doing damage.
So here we have Harriet, who is clearly on the spectrum when it comes to her inability to read the social landscape and saying pretty much anything that comes to find without one iota of filtering.  She commissions a newspaper to write her obituary before she dies and then trying to bully the obituary writer into coming up with something that doesn't make her seem just downright awful.  Challenged by having a mirror held up for her to scrutinize herself, Harriet goes about changing some unflattering aspects.  She can't change the past, but she decides to do something improbably (which is deejaying at a local indie radio station) and adopting an underprivileged kid.  MacLaine does a fine job of being the character she is dealt and it is fun to watch.
