Critics Consensus

A meditation on mortality full of risky stylistic gambits, Tuesday achieves real grace thanks to Julia Louis-Dreyfus' committed performance and director Daina Oniunas-Pusic's impressive ambition.

Anna Bogutskaya

Time Out

Tuesday is not a film about dying, but about the choices the living make when confronted with profound loss. It doesn't break your heart as much as help put it back together.

Rated: 4/5

Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

Tuesday is a magical realist allegory, dramatising our feelings about mortality – grief, denial, acceptance, despair – and interrogating what a good death might even mean.

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

There’s a grimly self-conscious “ain’t this just wacky?” overstatement to many of these scenes — a fatal over-reliance on vapid spectacle when any meaningful lower-key content would have sufficed.

Rated: 2/5

What I love about the premise and how writer/director Daina Oniunas-Pusic directs this film is how much humanity and love there is paired with feelings of fear and loss.

Rough Draft Atlanta

Actors Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew do their best, but it must be tough when the most fleshed out character in the story is a CGI bird.

Geek Vibes Nation

In the skilled hands of Pusic, Tuesday surpasses the boundaries of mere cinema; it becomes a profound journey of catharsis, a gentle reminder that death, though unavoidable, heralds the dawn of a new chapter in the eternal fabric of existence.

Mr. Hollywood

Interesting premise. The issue is it didnt know what it wanted to be, more comedy or more drama. It didnt balance itself and when its over youre left with huh that was ok but couldve been amazing. Julia did a good job.
