While all awards-season eyes were on Anthony Hopkinsâs showy turn in the psychological melodrama
The Father, Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci received scant attention for their more underplayed roles in this similarly dementia-themed drama. Itâs easy to see why
Supernova got overlooked; for all its awards-friendly subject matter, this is more of a bittersweet breakup movie than a hot-topic picture. Itâs a love story that lifts its entertaining riffs from romcoms and odd-couple, end-of-the-road movies to melancholic effect. While the result may occasionally get bogged down by dramatic contrivance, itâs generally buoyed up by a pair of likably bickering performances from the two leads.
