Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
“Bernadette Fox” (ambitionally strained, Cate Blanchette) is mean, misanthropic, acerbic and if that isn’t enough, psychologically unbalanced; we intensely dislike her by the time we learn she won a MacArthur Genius Grant for architecture, over twenty years prior to the commencement of this flat, lifeless scenario; married to a savvy techie, “Elgie Branch” (clueless, lost depiction by Billy Crudup) and cloned daughter, “Bee Branch” (annoying Emma Nelson) we suffer through, but empathize not, with her midlife crisis.
Disappointingly directed by Richard Linklater, devoid of humor, drama, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” is hardly worth the energy to wonder or care.
TWO STARS!!
