US drama in which a downtrodden housewife re-evaluates her life after discovering a talent for jigsaw puzzles.
It might look like a quirky take on the sports movie, but Puzzle is in fact an astutely crafted character drama, featuring a superb central performance from Kelly Macdonald.
A warm and humane film that for the most part transcends its more generic elements, Puzzle is hopefully an indicator of more chewy roles for the recently under-appreciated Kelly Macdonald.
Terribly earnest, but that’s not really enough.
