I have no idea why this movie got such mediocre reviews. This is an OUTSTANDING film!! It was captivating!
What a journey. A series of mishaps, no fault of Bernadette, nevertheless leads other to misunderstand her, including the perceptions of her husband. Everyone, with the exception of her daughter, misjudges her. Her daughter deeply knows the goodness and true essence of her mother.
It is never a good idea to assume anything about anyone even if you know them well. Right? Try to hold them in the best possible light.
She goes on a journey to Antarctica to join her husband and daughter and they fail to meet up at first, so Bernadette ventures out on her own in search of them. The kayak scene is priceless.
The people she meets on this journey value her in a way that she needs.
She realizes that she needs to be creative again in order to truly live again.
It is then that she gets an opportunity of a lifetime. Happy Happy ending!
If you are mainstream and like shoot them dead films, this is not for you. If you are off the bell curve and appreciate intelligent cinema, this is something you'll truly enjoy!
