Tuesday Review: A Sublime & Wildly Creative Exploration of the Inevitable
What if Death weren’t an ominous figure shrouded in a black cloak and sickle but a shape-shifting red macaw parrot with a lonely disposition and a penchant for gangsta rap music? Tuesday, the brilliant feature debut of filmmaker Daina O. Pusi, evokes tears and raucous laughter in a sublime exploration of life’s inevitable end. Julia Louis-Dreyfus delivers one of the best performances of her acclaimed career as a mother who refuses to accept her terminally ill daughter’s fate. Tuesday takes audiences on a wildly creative journey into the most tragic of circumstances. Losing a loved one is absolutely devastating. How we continue in the aftermath must reflect their cherished memory while forging a new path for ourselves.
