Review of Where Is Kyra? (2018) by Nathan A — 01 Jul 2018
I love Michelle Pfeiffer. Great actress. I love Kiefer Sutherland too. But this odd dark movie doesn't give them much to do. The story starts out well with a middle-aged woman having left her past life and now taking care of her aged mother.
After the mother dies, the woman is sort of lost emotionally and financially. She begins to cash her mother's Social Security checks. And this is where it's sort of Gore goes off the rails. Michelle Pfeiffer's character goes through some silly antics to impersonate her mother.
There's a great movie in here somewhere, but the focus seems to be too much on uninteresting side notes. So we watch her selling off her mother's things. We watch her try to find a job. We watch her have a tumultuous relationship with Kiefer Sutherland.
But the director doesn't give her those quiet powerful emotional scenes that would really draw us into her turmoil.
