This is poised, unhurried film-making, and all the more affecting as a result.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 10, 2024

There is such an honesty to its craft that the emotion of each moment, be it of joy, excitement, or, more often, crippling denial, bargaining or grief, hits you like a train.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2024

For all of its punches to the gut, this is an incredibly tender story of love and loss, where two men unravel at different speeds, in opposite directions, in the shadow of the same dying light.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 3, 2024

Supernova is a film that many will cherish if audiences can be absorbed by the overt metaphors and can look beyond the Rich White Male vantage point.

| Feb 7, 2024

On paper, Supernova has all the elements to be a deeply affecting drama. Yet, as we witness the most affectionate, sorrowful moments of Sam and Tucker’s relationship, very little emotion comes through.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2023

Few films in recent history have moved me quite like Supernova, a sensitive drama starring Stanley Tucci as one half of a gay couple who is slowly but surely succumbing to dementia.

| Sep 27, 2022

Quiet, thoughtful, and with an ending bound to spark debate, Supernova deals less with issues of queerness than issues of love.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2022

Supernova is a gorgeous film that showcases the flair of its stars, and furthers the reputation of a talented director.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 2, 2022

Tucci and Firth sustain an otherwise small film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Oct 27, 2021

A quiet and delicate road movie, it gives us scenes of exquisite sensitivity. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2021

The film is tender and the leading couple exudes charisma. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2021

A modest but absolutely loving film that's very involving thanks to wonderful performances...

| Sep 21, 2021

Firth and Tucci's chemistry is wonderful and the autumnal landscapes add to the story's melancholy mood, but in the end the slightly underpowered script means the film doesn't quite tug at our heartstrings as deeply as we might hope.

| Sep 2, 2021

The narrative doesn't do anything bold, but it confidently and self-assuredly tells this couple's story assuming that we will fall in love with them as much as the director has. And we absolutely do.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2021

Director Harry Macqueen, aided by sensitive, self-assured performances from a rarely-better Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci, weaves an understated yet deeply compelling tale of love, memory, and letting go with grace.

| Aug 26, 2021

This isn't as brilliant a film as its title might suggest, but its two stars burn brightly enough to compensate.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 18, 2021

Harry Macqueen's film... avoids melodramatic overflow thanks to the imposing sobriety with which the two performers express their affections, their fears and their apprehensions. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 16, 2021

his is an intense, intimate, spare film about love, grief and dementia, and the two leads, who play a gay couple, are superb.

| Jul 29, 2021

Supernova's wistful and loving tone reflects the meaning of its title-new stars emerging in a universe that continues operating despite its losses.

| Jul 16, 2021

Supernova is a stunning symphony of love whose illustrious stars shine oh so brightly.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 1, 2021
