The Sideways Light

This ostensible supernatural thriller has exactly one sentence of the supernatural in it and zero thrills. I wanted to like it because the cast was charismatic but it’s just tepid, all the way through. A woman moves home to take care of her mother who is ailing with dementia. The mother seems to be talking to ghosts. The woman goes through the typical emotional merrygoround of exhaustion, concern, and frustration you might expect of a young person taking care of a parent who is making less and less sense. And that’s basically it, that’s the movie.
