Tuesday’s Child: Hyde’s Attentive Examination of Transition
Belonging to a growing number of films taking place over real time, Australian director Sophie Hyde’s directorial debut, 52 Tuesdays, was filmed over the course of one year on every eponymous day of the week. Like Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, filmed over twelve years with its actors receiving new scenarios before each filming session, Hyde attempts to create an organic portrait of the passage of time as juxtaposed during two very different transitional periods for a mother and daughter. Timely and topical in its peripheral attenuation of a female-to-male transsexual’s gender reassignment process, Hyde focuses on the perspective of the teenage daughter and the effects this has on her during a critical juncture in her own development. As such, the film often seems fascinated by the very familiar process of teenage angst, albeit with an extra helping of confusion.
