BRizz 2 Losing Chase (1996) Losing Chase is a 1996 Golden Globe-winning TV movie starring Helen Mirren and Kyra Sedgwick. While not one of Mirren’s most talked-about films, it does showcase her incredible acting range. Helen Mirren has had a career full of both hits and misses, but her legacy remains strong—while she may not quite sit on the same pedestal as Meryl Streep, she’s certainly carved out a legendary place of her own in cinema history. In this film, Mirren plays Chase, a clinically depressed mother who is spiraling emotionally and mentally. To help manage her condition, her family brings in Elizabeth (Kyra Sedgwick), a caretaker who attempts to support and guide her through her struggles. The dynamic between these two women forms the emotional core of the film, and both actresses deliver strong, believable performances. The film itself, however, hasn’t aged particularly well. While it was well-directed and well-written for its time, it feels like one of those quiet dramas that doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression. It’s a fine watch for those who enjoy character-driven, emotional storytelling, but it doesn’t quite hold up as a memorable classic despite its Golden Globe recognition. The lack of an Oscar nomination, despite Mirren’s awards win, also suggests that while Losing Chase was good, it simply wasn’t great. For me, it was a decent one-time viewing experience, but not a film I’d revisit or highly recommend. It’s more of a curiosity for Helen Mirren fans who want to explore the depth of her earlier work.
