Elsewhere movie plot summary
Though it has been two years since the death of his wife,
Bruno (Aden Young) is still mourning the loss of his love. When his former
in-laws reclaim his house and evict him, he must move in with his parents
(Jacki Weaver and Beau Bridges), but he can’t let the house go.
Bruno pretends to be a contractor to the home’s new tenant,
Marie (Posey), so he can stay close to it, but he ends up forging a connection
with its new owner as well.
In “Elsewhere,” Jiménez has made a humanist film that deals
sensitively with the processes of grief and moving on. He demonstrates
generosity to each of the characters, from Bruno’s struggling widower to his
supportive best friend (Ken Jeong), as well as a clear love for the location in
woodsy British Columbia. Jiménez’s script is often charming and funny, but it
lacks the precision and specificity that make the best films about sad-sack protagonists
stand out.
Elsewhere 2019 film review
This movie's title says it all: If you're looking for
entertainment, look Elsewhere. It's beautiful but dull. While there's plenty of
blame to pass around -- including the writing, directing, and editing.
The biggest problems are the unlikable main character and
the star's monotone, cardboard-box acting. To get on board with Bruno's bizarre
decision-making, viewers have to care about him as his friends and family do --
and he offers us no reason to do so.
He's depressed, which is understandable, but eating his
co-worker's labeled food in the work fridge isn't. He's a jerk.
Bruno's allies try to be supportive and loving during his
difficult time, but it's obvious by the end of the film that he's using his grief
to get away with being self-absorbed.
