VIDEO and AUDIOGrandma may be a modestly budgeted indie, but that doesn't keep it from getting one of Sony's characteristically excellent Blu-ray transfers. The 1.85:1 picture is immaculate and vibrant, while the 5.1 DTS-HD master audio shows more vitality than you might expect. Sony loads the disc with subtitles, suggesting the film has greater international appeal than you'd think (it barely screened outside of North America). BONUS FEATURES, MENUS, PACKAGING and DESIGNThe Blu-ray's extras begin with an audio commentary by writer-director Paul Weitz and actors Lily Tomlin, Sam Elliott, and Julia Garner. With Weitz and Tomlin leading the way, the group's flowing remarks nicely complement what's onscreen and make for an easy listen, given the film's brevity. Much insight emerges regarding the film's motivations and depictions.On the video side, where all is encoded in HD, we start with the Blu-ray exclusive "A Family Portrait: Making Grandma" (25:15). Everyone describes how the movie came together and their appreciation for how it did.Next up comes a Q & A (20:58) with Weitz, Tomlin, and a thankfully mustachioed Elliott that is hosted by oft-quoted critic Pete Hammond. Audience questions are printed onscreen. Topics touched upon include Tomlin's car (really hers), her and Elliott's scene, sense memories actors drawn upon, the pluses and minuses of a 19-day shoot, and Weitz's writing the script for Tomlin and pitching it to her. There's a little overlap with the featurette (and commentary), but enough different information to justify including and watching everything.As a product of Sony Pictures Classics, Grandma get its theatrical trailer (2:06) kindly preserved.Finally, Previews replays the disc-opening trailer loop, promoting Infinitely Polar Bear, Irrational Man, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Truth, The Lady in the Van, and Hello My Name is Doris.The main menu loops an excerpt of score over a static image of the two leading ladies. As always, Sony authors the disc to support bookmarks and resume unfinished playback of any kind.The standard side-snapped keepcase is topped by a slipcover, whose awkward Blu-ray banner reflects the lack of a digital copy (and inserts of any kind) sitting across from the full-color disc art.CLOSING THOUGHTSDespite some iffy subject matter, Grandma mostly appeals as a sharp and witty study of characters we rarely find in mainstream film. This release delivers the high-quality presentation and substantial extras you expect of a Sony Pictures Classics Blu-ray.Buy Grandma from Amazon.com: Blu-ray / DVD / Instant Video
