TinyBeautifulThings Review: Kathryn Hahn's Incredible Performance Uplifts Emotional Drama
Based on the book — a collection of essays — by Cheryl Strayed, the Hulu adaptation of Tiny Beautiful Things bookends each episode with a voiceover from Kathryn Hahn’s Clare Pierce, who writes as Sugar, an anonymous advice columnist who provides honest, raw guidance and insight from her life experiences. That is the majority of what is pulled directly from Strayed’s novel, as the series crafts a narrative to fit around the letters she receives, drawing from parts of Strayed’s own past.
Tiny Beautiful Things is a show about self-destruction and self-reflection, something Clare clearly doesn’t have when audiences meet her. The series is tender, thoughtful, graceful in its handling of grief, the unwillingness to let go, and the fear of regret, which is a feeling Clare carries with her everyday.
Kathryn Hahn puts in an exceptional, devastating performance. Everything about Clare is emotionally raw, tender, enraged, and lost. She doesn’t always know what’s down and up, but she’s trying to the best of her ability, even if the effort is subpar most of the time. Hahn embraces Clare’s messiness, her performance adding a tinge of desperation that is only occasionally overshadowed by a sense of hope. Hahn imbues Clare with a frenetic energy that is at once chaotic and effervescent.
