Precursor: 20th AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations (2020)

The only movie that surprises me that’s on this list is One Night in Miami. Other than being a period piece, it doesn’t seem to have any focus on older voters, who make up the AARP. I can only assume that films like Promising Young Woman and Sound of Metal didn’t do well because they are issues that typically face younger people, but it’s not really that important.
