A teenage girl sets out to find her anxiety-ridden mother who goes missing in this comedy-drama from Richard Linklater, starring Cate Blanchett. On the way, she learns about her mother's troubled past.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette might well be one of those films that the people who love the book will only ever mutter darkly about. But for me, who just wanted to see a mostly decent movie with a few moments of true inspiration, it worked pretty well.

Sometimes idiosyncratic directors do surprisingly accessible and moving work when paired with more structured material and a strong and willing star, and so it is with Richard Linklater and "Where'd You Go, Bernadette."

Linklater's visuals are... unfussy, direct; as always, he creates felt intimacy among people.

Becomes compelling in its final act, but before that too often appears tonally addled and dramatically dawdling.
