Death takes many forms and in director Daina O. Pusić’s Tuesday, it comes in the form of a talking bird. A24’s official trailer shows 11-time Emmy Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep, Seinfeld) as a mother caring for her ill daughter while both attempt to come to terms with impending loss.
Lola Petticrew, Leah Harvey, and Arinzé Kene also star in the fantasy drama/comedy.
“Death makes Life worth living. Love makes loss worth bearing,” reads A24’s description. “A mother and her teenage daughter must confront Death when it arrives in the form of an astonishing talking bird. From debut filmmaker Daina O. Pusić, Tuesday is a heart-rending fairy tale about the echoes of loss and finding resilience in the unexpected.”
The film currently sits at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival. A24 hasn’t confirmed a premiere date, but is targeting a summer 2024 theatrical release.
