Movie Reviews of A Very Serious Person
Movie Review: Seriously good
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit, bad person that I am, that I didn't expect this movie to be what it was. I am used to seeing Mr Busch in his campier roles. He is brilliant here as the tightly-laced danish male nurse to (the brilliant) Polly Bergen, an ailing matriarch intent upon having a last summer with her orphaned grandson (a perfect P.J. Verhoest) before she dies and sends him off the relatives in Florida.
Any of this could have been played for cheap laughs and high camp, and audiences would have lapped it up like cream. But Busch takes a higher road here; each character is a fully realised person, flawed, hopeful heroic and base. If you don't tear up at the end of this, you just might be dead.
