Weird, wrenching and wildly bold, the UK-set debut movie from Croatian writer-director Daina O Pusić is an achingly unhappy oddity. Tuesday (Lola Petticrew) is a 15-year-old woman caught within the claws of an unspecified terminal sickness. Her time, she realises, is operating out when she is visited by Dying (voiced by Arinzé Kene) – a moth-eaten, manky-looking parrot who swoops across the planet, snuffing out the lives of all dying creatures. However there’s one thing about Tuesday’s spirit and empathy that stops Dying in his tracks. Tuesday washes the filth from Dying’s feathers, shopping for the parrot a short lived respite from the cacophony of the world’s struggling that fills his head. In return, he lets her stay somewhat longer: her mom, Zora (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, wonderful), is out hawking the final of her possessions to pay for her daughter’s medical care. Tuesday simply desires to say goodbye. However Zora will not be able to lose her daughter and goes to battle with Dying.
There’s an actual class and economic system to Pusić’s route, within the first half at the very least. She has a knack for packing layers of story into seemingly insignificant particulars. Her tight grip on this fatalistic fairytale loosens somewhat because the movie unfolds, however there’s no query that this can be a outstanding and warranted first function.
