Tuesday, Who Can Hang Name On You?
Is it weird to think a movie is good but still dislike it? Because that's my stand on Tuesday. The acting is good. The filmmaking is well done. The screenplay is fine. I just could not be less interested. I found this deep meditation on death to be a total bore.
Perhaps I had the wrong expectation going in? I knew the basic plot, a sick girl is visited by death in the form of a bird and the girl's mother, already handling her child's illness poorly, does not react well to the whole situation. Does this sound like a dark comedy? A serious drama? A fantasy film? To me, it sounded interesting, whatever genre it fit in. But in actual viewing I discovered the only label I would come up with is dull. Dull, Dull. Dull.
On a side note, this now is the second film this year I've seen where a woman becomes a giant (The first was Love Lies Bleeding). I'm not sure what to make of this. Is this a trend of some sort? Are directors into giantess porn and it's spilling over into their mainstream work? I'm confused by this. - Jamiec523 - 6 June 2024
As a two time Liver Transplant recipient with a mother that has been beside me the whole time, this film spoke to me
Death is never an easy thing to accept whether you know it may be time for it to visit you personally or when it's come to someone you love. I've had 2 liver transplants with the first being in 1989 and the second in 2023 and I'm only 35 years old. My Mom has been there beside me every...step..of..the..way, not just as my mother but also my best friend. The emotions of Julia Louis-Dreyfus in this film is not only the emotions of my mother and every loving mother on this planet, it's emotions I connected with so much due to the lengths I know my Mom has gone to to make sure I get at least one more day on earth with her. When I'm in pain, she's in pain just like Tuesday and her Mom Zora are.
This movie highlights grief, learning to let go even when you want to hold on to the ones you love with all your might as well as understanding the pain from both sides of the one losing/have lost someone and the one that is about to pass on.
My Mom cried just from watching the trailer as she connected with Tuesday's Mom's emotions just by imagining if it were her and I that experienced this incredible story. This film is truly one of a kind and something that not only made it's way to my heart but decided to stay there indefinitely.
