Our take

An honest, unsentimental reckoning with loss ahead of time, Supernova is rooted in a pair of career-best turns from Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci. A road movie set against a stunning Lake District backdrop, Harry Macqueen’s intimate drama is a delicately rendered ode to companionship and compassion.
