52 Tuesdays Reviews

Rough around the edges but sophisticated where it counts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2016

There's a candid urgency to it, and an engaging, mercurial lead from Tilda Cobham-Hervey as Billie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 9, 2015

What seems to be a queer issue film morphs into a rich thematic brew depicting how family, sexuality and time are all bound up in defining one another.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2015

A flawed yet fascinating Aussie indie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2015

Formally playful and thematically complex.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2015

One can't but fail to be impressed with the film's commitment to investigate its issues with subtlety and frankness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2015

Brings deft emotional nuance to the seemingly inexhaustibly complex relationship between individual identity and family ties.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2015

A frustratingly fragmented yet warmly intimate portrait of an evolving bond that frays but doesn't sever.

| Mar 26, 2015

Grippingly plotted and exquisitely thoughtful, 52 Tuesdays is a poignant reminder that neither confusion nor crisis is doomed to be calamitous.

| Mar 24, 2015

Sophie Hyde barely elaborates on the toll James's transition takes on him and only superficially as it affects Billie's psyche.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2015

The sensitively observed drama is distinguished by its structurally adventurous approach and the intimacy of its storytelling.

| Mar 23, 2015

A story told in snippets inevitably feels disjointed, despite the best efforts of Hyde and her cinematographer Brian Mason (who also edited the film) to get everything flowing smoothly.

Why does the film fall so flat? Partly it's the fatally tasteful indie aesthetic, evident in everything from Benjamin Speed's ambient score to Bryan Mason's digital cinematography, which aims for ''muted'' and ends up at ''drab''.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2014

It's slow going at times but there's a nice balance to it and in the bravado Billie adopts as she attempts to find a way into the future, there's something both poignant and strangely gallant. Better still, she's "authentic".

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 2, 2014

Demonstrates a willingness to experiment that bodes well for future endeavors.
