Tuesday

...fatalistic fairytale.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the ideal casting for this unique tonal gumbo: she brings a hint of Veep’s Selina Meyer to Zora in her inappropriate jokes and awkward presence.

...a film of tremendous emotion, spirit, and paradoxically restraint and ambition.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus gives a performance of breathtaking vulnerability as the mother of a dying teenager in “Tuesday,” a film that tells the story of the most shattering loss of all without melodrama or a score filled with syrupy strings.

In her bold, magical, heartbreaking, and soul healing debut feature, writer-director Daina Oniunas-Pusic creates a contemporary bedtime story, one that deals with death with tenderness and humor.

A magical realist allegory.
