Tuesday

Well-intentioned but predictable and a little too silly to sell a serious grief metaphor. The creative direction of the second half sent the melancholy pacing into overdrive. The story replaces genuinely well acted mother-daughter dialogue with pondering. But all throughout the film, misplaced jokes seemed forced into the script. The computer generated bird in particular was very hard to take seriously due to the annoying voice acting and cringeworthy jokes.

The film reminds me of "Sometimes I think About Dying," which I'd recommend for a more consistent drama that deals with depression in a subtler way.
