Where'd You Go, Bernadette

My wife and I watched this movie at home on DVD from our public library. We enjoyed it, all actors are good in the roles and to me Blanchett turns in one of her better performances as the genius architect that ceased to create after her difficulties with pregnancy and motherhood.

Cate Blanchett is Bernadette, living in Seattle with her Microsoft executive husband and teen daughter. She doesn't do much anymore, they bought an old large fixer upper but are not fixing it up. She doesn't seem to have any friends. At one point her family arranges an intervention, they think Bernadette needs to be hospitalized but she escapes.

Having planned a trip at their daughter's request, to Antarctica, and seemingly being aborted, through a series of quirky events all three of them end up there and Bernadette finds the inspiration to reignite her passion for architecture.

Good movie. Filmed partly in Greenland standing in for Antarctica,
