Where’d You Go, Bernadette
A reclusive agoraphobic housewife & doting mother with a workaholic husband suddenly disappears; thus, starts her amazing adventure as her family searches for her. Cate Blanchett & her character Bernadette Fox are a tour de force in this quirky, smart, & witty comedy about a talented person who has a reawakening after 20 years. Director Richard Linklater has created a wonderful film with a clever script & dialog as layers of Bernadette’s past are slowly revealed. Set in rainy Seattle, Billy Crudup is the husband Elgin who works for Microsoft & Emma Nelson plays their bright & loving daughter Bee. The role of the controlling wannabe perfect mom/socialite Abby is filled by Kristen Wiig. Judy Greer, Zoë Chao, Laurence Fishburne, & Megan Mullally are in the supporting cast. This is a film about the bonds that hold families together & finding what makes you happy.
Alien gives it 3½ “creative genius or menace” stars out of 4.
