Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

ComedyDrama116 min

New York playwright Sidda Lee Walker is pulled back toward her Louisiana roots when her mother’s lifelong friends, the Ya-Yas, stage an intervention of their own. Sandra Bullock is Sidda, a daughter keeping her distance after years of hurt, while Ellen Burstyn’s Vivi hangs over every conversation as a larger-than-life mother with a tangled past. As the Ya-Yas close ranks around both women, old stories, childhood memories, and buried grievances begin to surface, turning a family standoff into a look at friendship, loyalty, and the damage that can echo across generations.
