Queen at Sea
Directed by Lance Hammer
Amanda and her stepfather Martin struggle with a moral issue that divides them. Has Amanda’s mother Leslie, who has dementia, lost the ability to make critical decisions in her own best interests? And, if so, who is responsible – a spouse, a child, an institution – for making such a determination? As Amanda and Martin are forced to make increasingly difficult choices, the repercussions spiral out of their control. From TMDB

37 of 37 · most liked firstGoodness, QUEEN AT SEA (Lance Hammer, 2026) is good. The kind of British film that feels like a French film. Deeply emotional, I assume some people have been put off by its subject matter: Alzheimer’s. But more than anything it’s about love. Tom Courtenay, and Anna Calder-Marshall are remarkable.

unlabelledView post →QUEEN AT SEA: Really not sure how I feel about this. Can’t fault the performances, depiction of how shit dementia is and non-options for elder care are not wrong. But starting out so nuanced then slowly winding up into the cinematic equivalent of a sledgehammer feels like the film betraying itself
