This film provides an Interesting study in contrasts between two grandchildren who are visiting their grandmother. The eldest granddaughter regales her with loud attention, gifts and constantly posts photos online. Meanwhile, her younger sister quietly cleans, cooks and sorts grandma's meds. Nana enjoy the levity of the older and takes the younger's quiet nature for granted until she falls ill
Well produced - good camerawork and good audio -- fun background music. As the director points out, there are few coming-of-age films about older women. This is a fun comedy starring a 78-year-old woman who pursues her granddaughter on her mobility scooter and cane. I love her tenacity and love how both granddaughters connect with her in their own separate ways. I love how Nana goes to take care of Rosie even though it means climbing a mountain of stairs.
The film's message is that this is what it's like taking care of our older parents or grandparents. It's not always easy, but it's all worthwhile and, sometimes they have to take care of the younger ones. I give #NanaRocks 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults.

A woman celebrates her 78th birthday with her two granddaughters. Rachel regales her with loud attention, gifts, and photos she posts online. Rosie quietly works away cleaning, cooking, and sorting Nana's meds. Rachel almost kills her diabetic Nana with a high-sugar cake and Rosie rushes to the rescue. Still, Nana seems to enjoy Rachel's visits most, taking Rosie's quiet nature for granted until Rosie falls ill. Rachel visits Nana and leaves her with no food, a shoddy cleaning job and a broken telly. Moved by seeing the last container of food prepared by Rosie, Nana embarks on an epic cross-country journey on her mobility scooter.
