Cate Blanchett stars in Richard Linklater's adaptation of the 2012 comic novel about a Seattle architect who goes missing.
It's a given that many creative geniuses are also very neurotic, but when you're dramatizing such a person, is it more compelling to concentrate on the genius or the neuroses? While the answer, in most cases, would seem to lie in revealing the nexus between the two, focuses almost exclusively upon the paralyzingly neurotic side of its subject, a brilliant architect who for two decades hasn't designed so much as a mail box.
Based on the best-selling 2012 novel by Maria Semple and adapted by Linklater along with Holly Gent and Vince Palmo, who co-wrote the director's likable 2008 look at a real-life creative genius,for much of the way feels like a lightweight account of a heavyweight subject.
Bernadette's anti-social behavior exceeds the posted limit when she causes a mudslide from her property to cascade down onto a lower property and into the house of her neighbor Audrey , and during a school party, no less.
From this point on, the journey becomes a more interesting one, serious but with an eccentric, unorthodox feel entirely dictated by the unusual titular figure, a woman who, we come to learn, has suffered a traumatic creative/professional blow that perhaps others might have risen above but that destroyed her ability to focus and create.
