Amy Adams's New Film: A Mother's Reckoning
13 Feb
Summary
- Amy Adams stars as Laura, returning home changed after an accident.
- The film explores themes of denial, acceptance, and healing.
- 'At the Sea' is part of a triptych about women's life crises.

Amy Adams portrays Laura in Kornél Mundruczó's "At the Sea," an American-Hungarian co-production screening in Berlin. Laura returns to her family's Cape Cod home, grappling with the shadow of her father's legacy and her own functional alcoholism.
A recent drunk-driving accident with her son marked a turning point. Now sober, she faces a family unprepared for her transformation, charting a path from denial toward acceptance.
The film is an intimate character study, exploring the non-linear nature of healing and the demands of love and sobriety. It is the second in a triptych by Mundruczó, following "Pieces of a Woman," and preceding "A Place to Be," each examining different stages of a woman's life crisis.
