‘Suncoast’ Review: A Mother and Daughter Dive Into the Ethics of Dying in Overworked Hulu Drama
Laura Linney and Nico Parker are at loggerheads in Laura Chinn’s at times overworked, yet thoughtful, semi-autobiographical debut, 'Suncoast.'
Not that single mom Kristine is grieving exactly in bittersweet, comedic Sundance drama “ Suncoast ” — a fact Laura Linney ’s character makes decidedly clear to a counselor at the hospice center of the title. “Suncoast” feels crowded with overworked moments that ask us to wrestle with terminal illness and the ethics of euthanasia, with right-to-die arguments and the privilege of coming of age. No spoilers here, but the writer-director’s treatment of these sometimes-clueless teenagers feels more grounded than, say, “Bottoms” — which doesn’t mean “Suncoast” is better only that Chinn’s choices are admirable and emotionally ambitious.
