Tangles

How do you prepare for the worst when a family member is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease? Premiering at Cannes and nominated for Best Feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Leah Nelson’s gorgeous adaptation of Sarah Leavitt’s tender graphic novel about exactly that is a salve for sore hearts.
If you’ve ever lost anyone dear to you, prepare to be ruined and rebuilt by director Leah Nelson’s astonishingly generous debut feature, Tangles. Relocating Sarah Leavitt’s best-selling graphic novel of the same name from Canada to the US, it features the vocal talents of Broad City star Abbi Jacobson as Sarah. An awkwardly cute illustrator, she’s landed a dream gig with a queer magazine and her big feels for biker Donimo (Samira Wiley) appear to be mutual. But on a trip home to see the parents, Sarah notices that her mum (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) appears uncharacteristically confused. While her dad (Bryan Cranston) thinks it’s nothing, Sarah’s worst fears are soon confirmed: her mum has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Brought to life in lush greyscale animation, Nelson’s emotional rollercoaster was rightly nominated for the Camera d’Or for best first feature at Cannes. Also featuring Wanda Sykes, Seth Rogen, Bowen Yang and the world’s worst/best rendition of Chrissie Hynde’s I’ll Stand by You, Tangles is a balm for broken hearts.
