HBO Tuesday Movie Lineup

Did you catch Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ recent appearance in an A24 movie called TUESDAY on HBO? She played a distressed mother in this 2023 fantasy drama, starring alongside Lola Petticrew as a mother and daughter coping with terminal illness. The film, directed by Daina O. Pusić, premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival in 2023, with a theatrical release in the U.S. in June. It made its HBO debut on October 19, 2024. In the film, Zora (played by Louis-Dreyfus) and her wheelchair-bound daughter Tuesday (Petticrew) are guided by Death, cleverly portrayed by a scarlet macaw.

Critics’ responses varied, with some praising the film’s unique style and Louis-Dreyfus’ performance, while others found the tone to be muddled. In the end, it’s all about how the movie resonates with you as a viewer. If you’re interested, you can catch TUESDAY on HBO or in the HBO Hub on Max.
