Eleanor the Great: Scarlett Johansson’s Directorial Debut and the Story of Reinvention, Identity, and Legacy in Cinema

By Holloway Ashford

Eleanor the Great: Scarlett Johansson's Directorial Debut and the Story of Reinvention, Identity, and Legacy in Cinema is a captivating deep dive into one of the most surprising and talked-about films of 2025.

When Scarlett Johansson-known worldwide for her iconic performances in Lost in Translation, Marriage Story, and Jojo Rabbit-stepped behind the camera for the first time, the result was not just another film. Eleanor the Great became a bold meditation on grief, identity, storytelling, and the fragile lines between truth and fiction.

In this richly detailed book, Holloway Ashford unpacks the journey of Johansson's leap from actress to director, the creative spark of screenwriter Tory Kamen, and the unforgettable performance of Oscar nominee June Squibb as Eleanor Morgenstein-a woman whose loneliness drives her into a lie that spirals into both connection and chaos.
