About Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt)
School captain Ellie is seriously crushing on her rebellious classmate Abbie. Determined to ask her first love to the year 12 formal, Ellie devises a plan to go public with the invitation but before she can go through with it, her dead aunt Tara reappears from beyond the grave. Believing she's been brought back from the dead to be Ellie's fairy godmother, Tara dishes out unwanted dating advice based on her life as an out lesbian in the '80s.
Directed by Monica Zanetti, Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt) leans on a strong ensemble — Marta Dusseldorp, Zoe Terakes, Sophie Hawkshaw — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2020.
