Feb 12, 2021Even though 'Supernova' has a delicate and plaintive burn to it, the impact is more subdued that I hoped for. It sure is easy on the eyes though, featuring the winding English countryside, beautifully rustic townhomes, candle-lit interiors, and lots and lots of shawl-collar knit sweaters. Fascinating to learn that Stanley Tucci (Tusker) and Colin Firth (Sam) were both initially cast as the opposite characters before insisting on swapping roles; having watched the film, I can't envision them another way. Both are damn terrific and Sam and Tusker's respective emotional breakthroughs ring true over a relatively short time. 'Supernova' is a solid showcase for the soul-deep devotion of its characters' love, the turbulence of tackling death head on, and a couple's battle between hope and sorrow. I just wish the film's restrained approach could've moved me a bit more.Marisol M Super Reviewer
