Without the power and nuance that Louis-Dreyfus brings to the role, the drama would not have nearly as much spine or impact as it does.

...has the incongruous feel of a lovely sort of last rites.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 17, 2024

Tuesday captures its most transcendent truths in its closing moments, when all is pared back and it’s just Louis-Dreyfus sitting alone after everything has gone quiet. No more rapping bird; just a portrait of the pain and poetry of life amid death.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 17, 2024

The inherent tension in “Tuesday” is how can you kill someone that you love more than yourself or allow them to die. Zora’s road trip with Tuesday makes her appreciate that death is a gift—the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reference is intentional.

Full Review | Jun 16, 2024

The reconciliation of loss, & the grief associated with it, happens twice – in diagnosis & actuality – when a loved one is terminal, which we all are. TUES takes it head on and in unique metaphor, & Julia Louis-Dreyfus continues her evolution, gratefully.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 16, 2024

Aesthetically, it ascends to music video heights, experimenting with size and scope in fatalistic montages, but loses the emotional landscape the last act wants to achieve gracefully.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jun 15, 2024

There seriously are many great moments to swallow in a moving if occasionally humorous story of the dying, teen-age title character (Lola Petticrew) and her grieving mother (the always grand Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who refuses to accept it.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 15, 2024

“Tuesday” bears a lot of similarity to other works of art that have done so, but there’s something in the creative spark behind Pusić’s vision that sets it apart.

After wasting a Wednesday on “Tuesday,” I feel it my duty to warn you not to do the same – on any day of the week.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Jun 14, 2024

As a writer and director, Pusić has taste to spare, but Tuesday requires tight structure and intimate knowledge of characters, settings and context to really work that isn’t quite there.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

Walks a fine line between moving and mawkish... but thanks to a wholly dedicated performance from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tuesday manages to transcend its slightly thin premise.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

Pusic’s ability to weave gallows humor throughout the story is beyond impressive. She’s not making fun or light of the situation, but rather pointing out irony with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 14, 2024

Tuesday is nevertheless a beautifully poignant exploration of very real, very universal themes, all bolstered by Louis-Dreyfus doing some of the best dramatic work of her career.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 14, 2024

Demands and receives new and challenging things from Julia Louis-Dreyfus while announcing a formidable new filmmaker, the Croatian writer-director Daina O. Pusić.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 14, 2024

Daina O. Pusić presents an emotionally resonant and powerful meditation on death in Tuesday with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a grieving mother.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2024

To be a truly funny actor invariably requires a level of honesty, and Louis-Dreyfus brings an unvarnished plainness to this film's most emotional scenes—and does it without the need to let you know she's "acting."

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2024

It lands enough right notes to be considered a success, with Oniunas-Pusic, Louis-Dreyfus and Petticrew navigating through the weirdness to deliver a film that could be a big help for anyone who has a fear of death.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

The bottom line is that I just wasn’t as moved as I felt like I should be, and for a film like this that seems like a pretty fatal flaw.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2024

“Tuesday” is a movie that persons of faith can reconcile and embrace.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 14, 2024

Like the under-seen "A Monster Calls," this movie is frank about the messiness of the emotions around death.
