Where'd You Go Bernadette | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Despite my affection for Linklaters work, the persistent need to support mid-budget films at the cinema, and the appeal of its luminous star, Blanchett, that beacon of class and talent, none of it is enough to recommend.

While the film has value as a springboard for conversations about something everyone has to deal with - namely, failure - it doesn't quite live up to the quality of some of Linklater's other work.

A moving actor's portrait of an artist's real anguish, hidden and gift-wrapped within a Gap ad that is Bernadette's scenery and style.

Bernadette's antics and adventures mix a lot of talk with impressive visuals, worth watching to find answers about destinations, both physical and mental.

Linklater's humane liberalism has a certain value as an antidote to the brutality and foulness of official political life and culture, but we live in times more turbulent and perilous than the Drake Passage.
