Movie Review: Tuesday


Listen Later

 

A film that lives and dies by it’s leading cast made up of a Mother, her daughter, and a magic Macaw, Tuesday is a dark fantastical tale about how people cope with terminal illness and impending Death.  Lola Petticrew really gives an amazing performance here that will charm the audience audience even more than Tuesday is able to charm Death.  Arinze Kene voices Death and does some very captivating motion capture with his portrayal of the stuttering Macaw.  The film really hits the ground running especially when you toss in the unhinged performance from Julia Louis-Dreyfus switching gears and turning this into a dark comedy.  But ultimately the film falls flat when it doesn’t fully capitalize on the real world ramifications of Zora’s actions, and instead lulls it’s audience to very anticlimactic ending. 

It’s almost like the director knew exactly where he was going but didn’t fully grasp where things were headed.
