    Hello, My Name Is Doris

    The trailer looked a bit hackneyed, but reviewers are loving Hello, My Name Is Doris and especially Sally Field's performance, which is being described as Oscar-worthy. The LGBT-supportive star of Steel Magnolias, Soapdish, and Norma Rae portrays Doris, a vibrant but lonely packrat whiling away her days in a Manhattan cubicle. When a handsome, 30-something coworker (Max Greenfield) becomes her friend and romantic interest, Doris experiences an amazing reawakening.

    Not surprisingly, this is Field's first cinematic starring role in nearly a decade, which speaks to the dearth of roles for women north of 50. Hello, My Name Is Doris is out now; check out the trailer below.
