An incredibly original movie rich in story telling. You will never second guess the plot which is what I expect I'm an A24 film. JLD deserves an Iscar nod for this. Simply tremendous.
Honestly Me and my boyfriend really loved it, It beautifully captures death and how people fear it I believe. I found all of the interactions entertaining and realistic. I haven't cried during a movie like this in a long time.
Amazingly creative and very astute about a mother dealing and not dealing with her daughter’s impending death. Death is portrayed by a giant parrot. Amazing special effects
If you could give death a personality, an ear, a mind, a body. How would it be? I love the take introduced here, death's innevitability and its importance. How everyday life is only possible because of an intricate balance the world arrived at, and therein which death is key as is life. I love that death is not powered up like Homelander but is instead a victim to some physics we dont understand, just like his astounding ability to hear a dying soul and to help it cross his body is but a vesel, a representation of the unknown. But it doesnt bother him so it doesnt bother me... He didnt hatch from an egg, nor feast on worms in a nest. He just was and is I loved how the work leaves him weak, and after so long he has become filthy, asif to show how the world focuses more on life than death, how life has that sunkissed glow and death an azure tint. I love that death found solace in Tuesday, he found silence and a place to wash off the dirt stuck onto his feathers. I love that he laughed and managed to feel life as opposed to being the mere subscriber_ watching it pass like a series on the TV set. I love this movie from start to finish... I really connected with all the characters.
I watch a lot of movies and I’m open to strange/ bizarre concepts- but this went a little too far for me. I couldn’t get past the fact that JLD was cast as the mother- and it was never explained why she is American and everyone else is British. Then she ate the bird and… yikes. Too strange for me.
She could have had a British father and she may have moved to the country. Easy to explain. Not out of the realm of likelihood. If that is the main thing that irks you, the movie is at least serviceable
A24 doesn't disappoint here and delivers a unique way of showing us the beauty of death itself. Tuesday teaches the viewer why death is necessary in order to live. At first, we see Zora (Julia Dreyfus) in denial with the idea of her daughter dying. But then, once she feels her pain and suffering (physically and emotionally), she realizes that maybe, sometimes we are a bit selfish and just think how WE are not ready to live a life without someone we love. This is portrayed beautifully with the scene at the beach, where she finally understands and lets go. Tuesday also demonstrates how we should embrace death and its timing. Closing with a powerful thought about how our memories of the people that aren’t with us anymore are what actually make their afterlife.
I enjoyed the artist interpretation on death and the dynamics of a strained relationship when dealing with the inevitable. It was both comical and emotional at times. I am glad movies like this are being made and wished it was given the promotion it deserves. I have been telling my friends about this movie
think it's going to grow on me (2) That's the worst movie I've ever seen Both folk had enlightened expressions and smiles on their faces. Me? I get it. I might have directed some of it differently, but I felt it was brilliant.
(Spoilers) After watching the trailer, I thought this movie was going to be more about the tender relationship of a mother and daughter and how the mother could not accept the fact that her daughter was dying. I knew a bird was symbolizing death, but I did not realize what a big part the bird had in this movie. The beginning was strange, but set the scene. I liked the kind interactions between the girl and the bird, and the ending revealed how much of an impact the girl had on the bird (death). The scene where the mother horrifically beats the bird, burns him, and then eats him, was traumatizing! I know it was meant to show the lengths the mother would go to to stop her daughter from dying, but it was not fun to watch. I felt bad for the bird, who was only doing its job. This also showed how death is necessary. Without it, the balance of life is interrupted. It was shown how much the mother gave up for her daughter, but the daughter didn't even know how much the mother loved her because the mother avoided seeing her. I realize the mom was in denial, and she was getting rid of worldly goods to pay the medical bills. The other theme of letting loved ones go when they are in pain was also apparent. It was an odd film. I had free tickets, so I didn't waste any money, and it gave me something to do on a Sunday afternoon, but it was not the movie I was expecting. The trailer was very misleading in my opinion.
This is an extremely odd and dark movie. I’m not even sure if my interpretation is correct but what I took from watching it is when the order of the universe is interrupted chaos ensues. The acting was good and the idea was good but the whole bird of death was hard to wrap my mind around. Not at all what I expected. Different.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is good at everything she does, including her dramatic acting here. However, I felt the story line is not appropriate with the sensitive subject matter and I left feeling like the writers could have done much better. I would not recommend seeing it.
It is a bit too bizarre for me and seemed to swing from sci fi to religion. I didnt get the fairy tale aspect at all. However Julia Lewis Dreyfuss gave a superb performance. The dialogue also relayed some very meaningful messages about losing a loved one.
Not a good movie but a wonderful dramatic acting performance by Louise Dreyfuss in her first dramatic role. The plot is silly. A parrot is supposedly the agent of death. Louise fights off the parrot to save her daughter. There are dead end plot twists sirens in the streets clusters of birds that lead nowhere. Just a strange poorly written script but Dreyfuss performance is first class.

This movie had me fully engaged. Fascinating!

Thanks for confirming the actual movie was as weird / goofy as this clip. I'll skip it.

Julia was amazing. Needed some more joyful moments and character build though.
think it's going to grow on me

This looks GUT-PUNCH SAD! Probably crying through most of movie....correct?
