I decided to place the second poster above the first poster because it illustrates the movie better.
Co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, Where’d You Go, Bernadette? focuses on
15-year-old Bee, played by Emma Nelson, after her stressed-out mother, played by Cate Blanchett, disappears. Bee does everything in her power to track her down, discovering her mother’s troubled past in the process.
The movie is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming sites. It’s a fun movie to watch about family, being a mother, and coming to terms with destiny.
Holly Gent and Vince Palmo co-wrote the screenplay based on the book of the same name by Maria Semple. Linklater’s credits include writing and producing. His last well-known movie is Boyhood.
Blanchett is a stick of dynamite, an award-winning actress, and Bernadette is another explosive role for her to play. A talented cast surrounds her, including Judy Greer, Kristen Wiig, Laurence Fishbourne, and Billy Crudup.
The second trailer draws you in and includes how much fun the movie is to watch. Blanchett is coming from so many levels as Bernadette. It is delightful to watch. Mothers who put their careers aside for marriage and family will find companionship.
I am adding Blanchett’s soundbites concerning the movie because any mother and daughter can relate to this movie.
Watching the featurette compels me to read the book. I agree with the director. Bernadette is not crazy; the world is crazy.
