Cate Blanchett in ‘Where’d You Go Bernadette?’
In the pre-covid-19 world, Where’d You Go Bernadette?, a drama starring Cate Blanchett, Billy Crudup, Kristen Wiig and newcomer Emma Nelson, was launched in the US last year by United Artists Releasing, playing widely on more than 2,400 screens.
The Richard Linklater-directed adaptation of Maria Semple’s 2012 novel made a decent $US3.2 million in its first weekend and ended up with $US9.2 million.
In the current depressed cinema market in Australia, the movie following Blanchett as a reclusive architect who leaves her family in Seattle and heads to Antarctica, opened on 40 screens, delivering a modest $62,000 for Universal Pictures last weekend.
Blame the market – especially the closure of Melbourne’s cinemas, which account for 27 per cent of the national Bo and potentially up to 40 per cent of the takings for an upscale release like Linklater’s, rather than the movie.

Where'd You Go Bernadette is a heartwarming film directed by Richard Linklater, based off Maria Semple's extraordinary novel about a young teenage girl, Bee Branch played by Emma Nelson, who is trying to put together the subtle clues of where her mysterious mother, Bernadette Fox, played beautifully by Cate Blanchett, has disappeared off to.

When Bee gets a perfect report card and asks her parents for a trip to Antarctica, Bernadette goes missing shortly after which may or may not be coincidental. Bee's home life goes to shambles when she unhappily gets sent off to a boarding school and her father, Elgie, played by Billy Crudup, starts having an affair with his assistant, Soo Lin, played by Zoe Chao.

There are “Bad Moms” in all their well-meaning comedy chaos, and then there are those movie mothers who reject the parental role for reasons the audience may never fully understand. “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” the new Richard Linklater/Cate Blanchett film based on the bestselling Maria Semple novel, brings us into a Be Reel category of movie moms who decide they want more than what society (real or imagined) tells them they deserve.

What if that one thing that you cared about and that you built your life’s work around was gutted away from you violently? Can you recover? How do you cope in the days and years that follow? These are some of the questions that Richard Linklater is trying to answer with his adaptation of the Maria Semple novel, Where’d You Go, Bernadette?
Bernadette (Cate Blanchett) is a harried mom (to Emma Nelson’s 15 year old Bee) and wife (to Billy Crudup’s Elgie) in Seattle. She spends her days in her big semi-rundown house trying to manage the small details of her family’s life, but mostly running away from facing the minutiae and drudgery of those tasks by composing long email and text messages to her virtual assistant Manjula. But Bernadette’s life wasn’t always so banal and she wasn’t in perpetual...

Two wide releases from top directors with appeal to adult audiences are specialty films, even if their distributors opted to open them in over 2,000 theaters. Warner Bros. had strong reasons for wide-releasing New Line Cinema’s Bruce Springsteen-infused Sundance pickup “Blinded by the Light” this weekend, as did United Artists with Annapurna’s long-delayed Cate Blanchett vehicle “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.”
The question is how to find audiences for these films, as studios and indies alike wrestle with deeply rooted issues in today’s theatrical market. Even Sony Pictures Classics, which has pivoted to documentaries, found a weak initial arthouse audience for fast-frame-rate “Aquarela,” despite top-end reviews and theaters.
In wider release, “The Farewell” (A24) continues to add to its impressive totals. So does Roadside Attractions’ crowdpleasing “The Peanut Butter Falcon,” which showed a strong second weekend with non-specialized audiences as a key element.

The Bean Bag Boys, the self-appointed nickname for the trio of best friends in Universal’s “Good Boys,” are conquering much more than sixth grade. They are also leading the domestic box office, exceeding expectations and collecting $21 million on opening weekend.
“Good Boys,” which screened at 3,204 North American theaters, is a much-needed win for original comedies, a genre that’s been struggling at the box office as of late. The Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg-produced movie is the first R-rated funny film to open in first place in three years (since 2016’s “The Boss”), as well as the biggest opening for an original comedy this year.
“The bottom line is the film is absolutely hysterical,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg knocked it out of the park. And [Rogen and Goldberg] are a brand and really own this space with a very difficult genre.

Cate Blanchett plays the eccentric heroine at the center of “Where’d You Go Bernadette,” which opened on August 16. Based on the novel by Maria Semple, it centers on the search for the title character, who has mysteriously gone missing. And not only does it have Blanchett in the leading role, it also has Oscar nominee Richard Linklater (“Boyhood”) taking the reins as co-writer and director. So what do critics think of it?
So far the film has divided reviewers. As of this writing it has a MetaCritic score of 52 based on 29 reviews counted so far — 9 positive, 16 mixed, 4 negative. Over on Rotten Tomatoes it has a 46% freshness rating based on 74 reviews counted. Some say Blanchett is “magnificent” and “radiates otherworldliness and edgy neurosis” in the leading role, and that the film is “generously humane.” But other argue Blanchett’s performance is “too big for what’s meant to be a diminished character,...

Universal’s “Good Boys,” the pre-teen, R-rated comedy romp from producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, earned $2.1 million at the box office in Thursday previews from 2,600 screens.
It’s a crowded yet quiet weekend at the box office where just about anything could emerge as the top earner this weekend. “Good Boys” will be in a close race with Entertainment Studio’s “47 Meters Down: Uncaged,” the horror sequel about killer sharks.
However, Sony’s “The Angry Birds Movie 2” already opened early on Tuesday this week, and it’s made $5.7 million so far in its three days of release. Then there’s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” a comedic adaptation of a novel starring Cate Blanchett and from director Richard Linklater that Annapurna is releasing.

In 2017, “Pretty Little Liars” wrapped up seven seasons of mystery and signed off the air with a polarizing ending. If you still need a “spoiler alert” warning, you aren’t truly a fan, so it’s fair to remind everyone that Troian Bellisario’s character Spencer turned out to have an evil twin.
“Pll” fans had a lot of feelings about the big reveal. Some liked the evil twin thing; some compared it to a predictable soap opera twist.
Two years later, Bellisario understands why the ending left some viewers feeling unsatisfied.
“It’s so funny because I knew about it so many years in advance that that’s always where it was going, but I understand that a lot of people felt very sideswiped by it,” Bellisario told Variety at the premiere of her upcoming film, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.”

Director Richard Linklater‘s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” adapted from Maria Semple’s popular Ya novel of the same name, concerns Bernadette (Cate Blanchett) a brilliant, middle-aged ex-architect with a beautiful home, a loving husband (Billy Crudup) and a brilliant teenage daughter (Emma Nelson). And yet, with all the good graces Bernadette has gotten in life, she is going through an existential mid-life crisis.

Not a screwball comedy or inspirational tale of creativity unleashed but trying to be both those things and more, Richard Linklater’s lackluster adaptation of Maria Semple’s bestselling novel “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” is a late, dull entry in a louder-than-usual summer movie season that truly needed something special, warm, and human-scale. Try as the filmmakers do to conjure a restorative kind of magic in its searching, yearning storyline of renewal, they are not able to come up with much more than a limping comedy about a woman with all-too-easily-explained mental issues.

With “Last Flag Flying” arriving in theaters, we’re taking on the not-so-simple task of ranking the movies of genre-hopping director Richard Linklater. The top titles on this list could rightfully be called modern classics, but every one of his films somehow evokes the heartfelt philosophy of his hypnotic “Waking Life”: human interaction is the highest form of spiritual communion.
20. “Bad News Bears” (2005)
The 1976 original was a true product of its time, with an all-star lineup led by Walter Matthau and Tatum O’Neal, but this unnecessary remake just felt like it was trying too hard. By 2005, the sight of an aggressively un-pc Little League coach (Billy Bob Thornton) encouraging outrageous behavior in his young team seemed less subversive than sad.
19. “Fast Food Nation” (2006)
When truth is stranger than fiction, why turn it into fiction? Linklater admirably attempted to create a multi-course meal out of Eric Schlosser’s bestselling book,...

Fans of Maria Semple’s book-club staple have long loved the mad protagonist of “Where’d You Go, Bernadette”: a middle-aged mother who has lost her way and, quite possibly, her mind. Semple’s novel portrays this dramatic unraveling via a clever collection of modern detritus — emails, receipts, memos and interviews.
Richard Linklater’s adaptation is a much more straightforward affair, heavily reliant on star power to replace the literary stylings he and his co-writers have left behind. This approach is not an ideal match for the source material, and many may wish the book had been adapted by a filmmaker more connected to its distinctive idiosyncrasies.
But those who arrive without any preconceptions — or are willing to stray from the novel’s style — will appreciate the assets of a modestly engaging and gently touching dramedy.

What, exactly, are we to make of Bernadette Fox (Cate Blanchett), the dysfunctional slacker architect with the racing tongue and the porcupine disposition who’s at the center of Richard Linklater’s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette”? Bernadette lives in a beautiful crumbling mansion, perched on a Seattle hilltop, that she spends her days indolently renovating. Everywhere in the house, there are signs of her visual imagination (printed pamphlets folded into cones and stacked as wallpaper; splashes of surreal color). But it’s clear that the project stalled a long time ago, because the place is a half-finished wreck, with chipped paint and scarred moldings and barely furnished rooms.
What does Bernadatte do? Basically, she does nothing at all, except talk a blue streak of manic invective. She’s a drop-dead misanthrope who spends all day, every day, putting down everybody and everything. She hates the neighbors. She hates the...

A witty portrait of a deferred career, marriage, motherhood, and a missing matriarch, Maria Semple’s hit novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette unfolded in epistolary fashion, making a unique challenge for Richard Linklater and co-writers Holly Gent and Vincent Palmo Jr. Finding an engaging tone between tightly-packed eccentricities and a more grounded portrait of mental illness is difficult, but his film’s rocky introduction eventually settles into an involving tale of self-discovery and how a woman’s dreams can be sidetracked without those closest to her realizing it. As if beholden to laying the narrative cards out on the table as quickly as possible, Linklater seemingly wants to throw as much as he can into the first act before cracking open our characters to see what makes them tick, leading to a more intimate, emotionally rewarding journey.
Bernadette Fox (Cate Blanchett) lives by the beat of her own out-of-tune drum.

Richard Linklater has already proved himself a master surveyor of the rocky terrain of motherhood — think of the complexity of Patricia Arquette’s Oscar-winning performance in his Boyhood. Adapting Maria Semple’s 2012 wild, reckless bestseller seems like a logical next step on that turbulent maternal highway, given that it told the story of an architect named Bernadette Fox. She’s the winner of a MacArthur “genius” grant for creating her 20-Mile House, constructed from materials sourced within 20 miles of the home. But when a tycoon bought the place and destroyed it,...

“Where’d You Go, Bernadette” makes perfect sense as a Richard Linklater movie. In fact, this half-baked and eccentric tale of a modern woman getting her groove back — adapted from Maria Semple’s decidedly uncinematic novel of the same name — might only make sense as a Richard Linklater movie.
From the maverick likes of “Slacker” and “Boyhood” to the more studio-polished fare of “School of Rock” and “Me and Orson Welles,” Austin’s most inquisitive auteur has always been drawn to shaggy little stories about creative people trying to find their way through a world that doesn’t always spread itself out into a proper canvas. For a restless iconoclast like Linklater, there’s nothing more dangerous or exciting than an artist who doesn’t know what to do with themselves.

She upends the expectations placed upon mothers, which the Oscar winner thinks many will appreciate.

“The Angry Birds Movie 2,” Sony’s animated sequel based on the phone app and video game, collected $2.6 million when it opened on Tuesday.
The follow-up to 2016’s “Angry Birds” got a jump on the weekend and is expected to earn $16 million to $18 million during its fist six days of release. Unless “Angry Birds 2” exceeds expectations, the movie could arrive well below the first film, which debuted with $38 million and ended its theatrical run with $352 million worldwide. On the plus side, “Angry Birds 2” carries a $65 million price tag, slightly less than the first movie’s $73 million budget.
In the sequel, the feathered protagonists team up to save Bird and Piggy Islands after advanced weapons threaten their home. The voice cast includes Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Maya Rudolph, and Leslie Jones.

“You know what I find really refreshing?” Cate Blanchett asked. “I don’t know if you find it refreshing, but I do — that women are having dialogue with one another and they’re sharing their f— ups and their failures, and how to navigate their way through the mess of daily, domestic lives.”
Speaking to Variety at a special screening of her upcoming film “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” on Monday evening at the Metrograph Theater in New York City, the Oscar winner shared what drew her to the flawed, multi-layered and complex character she portrays in the film directed by Richard Linklater (which is based on Maria Semple‘s best-selling 2012 novel).
For Blanchett, who she collaborates with is of utmost importance, even ahead of the roles she takes on. So when “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?” came across her lap, she jumped at the chance to work with Linklater and Semple.

August’s box office traffic jam is turning into full-on pileup. After five new nationwide releases last weekend, most of which failed in spectacular fashion, five more newcomers are arriving on movie theater marquees. It could mean another rough outing for Hollywood studios.
Universal’s raunchy comedy “Good Boys,” Sony’s animated “Angry Birds” sequel and Entertainment Studio’s shark thriller “47 Meters Down: Uncaged” look to have the best start among fresh offerings, but there’s a chance those will be the only films to hit double-digit debuts.
“The Angry Birds Movie 2” is getting a jump on the weekend by launching on Tuesday for a projected $16 million to $18 million from 3,800 theaters during its first six days of release. Some box office watchers estimate the film could reach $20 million, but even those numbers would be a huge drop from its predecessor, 2016’s “Angry Birds.” The first film, based on...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette is among the horde of book-to-film adaptations hitting the big screen this year, but the Maria Semple novel of the same name presented a unique challenge for director and co-writer Richard Linklater: a narrative driven by elements like emails, letters and texts.
That didn't faze Linklater — the book had already "got its hooks" into him.
"It's exhilarating — the language, the humor, the characters, everything about it," he told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday night at a New York screening of Bernadette. "It's so witty and lively. We just had to ...

A witty portrait of a deferred career, marriage, motherhood, and a missing matriarch, Maria Semple’s hit novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette is prime material for Richard Linklater to adapt, and he found the perfect actress to take the lead. Cate Blanchett’s Bernadette Fox lives by the beat of her own out-of-tune drum. A once-heralded architect, for the last few decades she’s given up her creative passions, living in a bubble that ignores the fellow parents (aka “gnats”) at her daughter’s school and relying on a panoply of prescriptions to get by. When a family trip to Antarctica is planned, a series of unfortunate, perhaps self-precipitated events result in Bernadette’s further ostracism from those closest to her.
Ahead of the release this Friday, we spoke with the director about the desire to create, the similarities between architecture and filmmaking, the Up series, finding the perfect project,...

Poor Bernadette Fox. Played by Cate Blanchett, the heroine of Richard Linklater’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette is in an existential funk--or perhaps worse. A once acclaimed architect, she retreated from fame nearly two decades ago and fled from Los Angeles to Seattle, where she, her 15-year-old daughter Bee (Emma Nelson), and her high-level Microsoft engineer husband Elgie (Billy Crudup) live in a former school for girls that Bernadette is theoretically going to reclaim and refurbish.
That’s the idea anyway. But Bernadette hates her neighborhood and especially her next door neighbor, judgmental and nosy Audrey (Kristen Wiig). She's also distraught about Bee wanting to go to boarding school and she feels trapped in her enforced domesticity. Worst of all, she is not creating anything anymore; she's just stockpiling...

Cate Blanchett and Kristen Wiig enjoyed working together on the new comedy Where’d You Go, Bernadette so much that they’re already eager for round two!
“Kristen has already begun writing for me,” Blanchett, 50, quips to People in this week’s issue of a role in a possible Bridesmaids sequel. (Though director Paul Feig has expressed that he’s weary of doing a follow-up to the 2011 comedy.)

"Your hillside just slid into my home" Annapurna Pictures has debuted the second official trailer Richard Linklater's latest film Where'd You Go, Bernadette, based on Maria Semple's novel of the same name. The film is about a woman who runs away, as the title obviously indicates. After her anxiety-ridden mother disappears, 15-year-old Bee does everything to track her down, discovering details about her troubled past in the process. Newcomer Emma Nelson stars as Bee, with an impressive cast including Cate Blanchett as Bernadette, Billy Crudup, Kristen Wiig, James Urbaniak, Judy Greer, Troian Bellisario, Zoe Chao, and Laurence Fishburne. I'm always excited about the new Linklater film, but this one seems a bit too playful and campy, not what I was really expecting though it's not looking that bad. But I'm intrigued nonetheless and still want to see it - maybe there's something meaningful hidden within? Take a look below.

In “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?,” Cate Blanchett plays a renowned architect who hasn’t worked in 20 years. But after all that time, the walls propping up her life come crashing down, metaphorically and literally.
The latest trailer for Richard Linklater’s film shows Blanchett’s Bernadette having something of a feud with her neighbor played by Kristen Wiig, which comes to a head when the border wall between their homes collapses and sends a mudslide into Wiig’s home.
“Your hillside just slid into my home,” Wiig shrieks at Blanchett. “My yard, the Japanese maples … the birdbath is practically in my living room!”

Bernadette then goes on a journey to find herself by spontaneously running away from home and taking a job in Antarctica, with a little nudging from an old friend played by Laurence Fishburne.

Cate Blanchett’s “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” has been pushed five months from March 22 to August 9, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Annapurna spokesperson Ashley Momtaheni told TheWrap that the move can be credited to August being a great month to release female-skewing films, as “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Florence Foster Jenkins” have shown.

Richard Linklater directs the film about a Seattle woman who has it all, including a loving husband and a brilliant daughter, but when she unexpectedly disappears, her family sets off on an adventure to solve the mystery of where she might have gone.

Folks looking forward to the March 22 release of Annapurna’s next Richard Linklater movie might find themselves asking, Where’d You Go, Bernadette? Answer: The Richard Linklater-directed literary adaptation has been moved to August 9.

The plot summary could be a horror – literally. Seattle woman disappears without a trace, leaving a loving husband and brilliant daughter to set out on a search to solve the mystery.
But the trailer for Richard Linklater’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette, from Annapurna Pictures, makes clear to everyone who hasn’t read Maria Semple’s 2012 breezy, bestselling book that the tale is anything but a horror story.
Clue #1: The trailer tells us that the film is based on the “runaway” bestseller. Bernadette, it seems, left on her own free will, and now dad and daughter are on an adventure of their own to track her down.
