      Critics Consensus

      Maryle Blah movie that took too long! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/19/19 Full Review robert G Long winding story that went no where ... Walked out thinking what was the story being told.??? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/19 Full Review Patricia V Love the actress but not in this role.. didn’t quite follow the flow of the story line . Movie is not memorable. Forgot what it was about as soon as the lights went on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/15/19 Full Review Gloria Beautiful story with exceptional acting by Cate Blanchett, as expected!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/19 Full Review kimberly o Good, funny. Outstanding acting! Recommend seeing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/19 Full Review Cindy Quirky, thoughtful and a bit thin on characters. Seemed that some character development early on would have helped define “why” - I thought I missed the beginning or a Part 1. I liked it. Just left me underwhelmed.

      Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) These themes have preoccupied Linklater through his whole career -- and while Where'd You Go, Bernadette may not be one of his peaks, it shows he's still bent on approaching them in new ways. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Caroline Siede The Spool [I]n a cinematic landscape where stories of women finding themselves are too few and far between, Where'd You Go, Bernadette is a welcome gift, even if it's an imperfect one. Jan 20, 2020 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Basically a miscalculation from end to end, full of bizarre narrative turns and inexplicable craft decisions. Yet there's never any question that Linklater is fully committed, and it's hard to consider a movie "bad" that's made with this much care. Sep 15, 2019 Full Review Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio Linklater’s film is a loose adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name. Fans of the novel might take exception to how loose. Chief among the changes: Bernadette is around an awful lot for a story about someone who disappears. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies I even liked its messiness. That may be a weird compliment, but this is a weird movie, and I guess I like that about it too. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Elissa Suh Moviepudding Cate Blanchett transforms what read on the page as “kooky-neurotic-but-loving-mom” into an abrasively self-pitying, invective-spewing depressive...
