action
Bernadette Fox lives with her husband Elgie Branch, their daughter Bee, and a golden retriever named Ice Cream. Bernadette was once a much-lauded architect, which is why she wears sunglasses to avoid being recognized.

After her mother disappears, the 15-year-old Bee sets out to find her and learns about her difficult past that she didn't know about.

Reviews
Overall, the film received mixed feedback from the critics.
Lukas Foerster from Filmbulletin writes that Richard Linklater's film is essentially a depression comedy, and “Where'd You Go, Bernadette?” Can be read primarily as: “How did you get this far, Bernadette?” She is a woman , who moves through a life in which she no longer really feels at home, in which she is, sometimes quite literally, offended, with the consistently stunning Cate Blanchett proving herself to be a gifted body comedian.
