I’m massively gutted that I missed this film at SXSW<\/strong> this year, but having just watched Hello, My Name Is Doris<\/strong>, I was moved at the amount of joy this gleeful little film brought to my life. <\/p>\n

Hello, My Name is Doris<\/strong> stars the legendary Sally Field<\/strong> as Doris and Max Greenfield<\/strong> of New Girl<\/strong> fame. This low-budget, feel good film is about an older woman who probably never fit in anywhere in life. She’s a vintage clothes wearing eccentric, working in a modern fashion brand that lives in her own Staples-loving accountancy bubble after the love of her life decided to leave her for a job, over her. <\/p>\n

One day in a crowded elevator, she becomes sardined next to new Californian transplant, John Fremont, played by Max Greenfield<\/strong>, who invokes a spark of forbidden lust in Doris. And it is from this moment that Doris’ little bubble starts to get a whole lot bigger.
\nSuddenly Doris finds herself shunning her traditional old lady friends for a life of electronic music nights in Brooklyn, catfishing John on Facebook, posing for the cover of CDs in hot pink leotards and raving with a group of twenty-somethings at a very non-traditional Thanksgiving. <\/p>\n
