Summary

Fantasy drama starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew. London mum Zora refuses to accept that her teenage daughter, Tuesday, is soon to die from terminal cancer. Meanwhile, Tuesday has been conversing with Death, who comes to her in the form of a mangy talking macaw. When Zora realises this, she takes matters into her own hands and confronts the bird, which has unsettling consequences.

Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Terry Staunton

Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as the mother of a terminally ill teenage girl (the titular Tuesday) in this muddled meditation on mortality, which is by turns sensitive and silly. As emotions run riot, parent and child are visited by a talking, size-shifting macaw to help them prepare for the inevitable, allowing them to find closure in the process. It's undoubtedly a heavy subject matter with thought-provoking points to make, but undercutting the seriousness of the situation with a gruff-voiced bird rendered via not always convincing CGI doesn't do the film many favours. Louis-Dreyfus showed in Seinfeld and Veep that she is a phenomenally gifted comic actor, but she also impresses here in a role that demands more substance and intensity. However, the true revelation is Lola Petticrew as the pragmatic and wise-beyond-her-years Tuesday, and her layered performance might persuade viewers to (partly, at least) forgive the film's more ham-fisted attempts to put a redemptive spin on tragedy.
