Firth are Tucci are both phenomenal in the movie, finding so many grace notes that elevate a story that could have been maudlin into something that feels truly empathetic. The film ranks among career-best work from both actors.
It’s rare to see a cinematic drama executed with such consistent care as SUPERNOVA. And in this film, that care pays off to devastating effect. As performers, Tucci and Firth are men of passion but also men of integrity. In Tucci’s voice you hear both mordancy and the deepest kind of compassion.
