Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Saw a little bit of somebody in every character. Pretty much a feel good movie. Loved the family. Loved that it wasn't typical in any way. Not for everyone, like people who thought Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was funny. No nudity, no violence. Some of us like that. Beautiful cinematography in Antarctica!

Didnt really understood the plot of this movie. Only good part was Cate's acting. I tried to understand the meaning of the movie but i guess thats going to stay as a mystery for me

Some reviewers criticized the film's pacing, I was fine with it. It's clear from the beginning the family is non-tradiotional, living in partially renovated, unkempt colossal house in a high end Seattle among well kept homes. Snobbery abounds. The viewer wonders about the past and it is revealed little by little in various ways. Bernadette & her daughter are unusually close, the parents less so. The ultimate strength of their bonds is what drives the last 1/3. I did snort-laugh a few times, for the record. A good film for families ( kids over 12 or so) to watch which may lead to discussions. Cate B's performance is excellent!

Started out at little slow and ended strong. The Director took to long to help us understand the complexity of Bernadette and her real struggles -which we can all identify with, so that we really liked and rooted for her. Once the movie got there it took off and ended strong. One criticism overall and not so much about this movie but an overall statement. If a movie is set in a specific city - film it in that city. There were obvious obligatory scenes of Seattle but It was clearly filmed mostly elsewhere.

I found the story to be touching and sweet. I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't go into detail, but I my friends and I enjoyed the movie very much. Cate Blanchett was brilliant, as always, and I loved Kristen Wiig and Laurence Fishburn's characters too. I thought all of the main characters were believable and relatable.

I personally felt the story to be lacking and the ending abrupt. Despite that, Cate's range of emotion makes her unique, like the genius protagonist she plays.
