Supernova

Supernova (2020) is a quiet British drama by Harry Macqueen, available to watch online on iFILM. Sam and Tusker have been together for twenty years. Now they're driving an old camper van across England, back to the people and places that shaped them.

Sam (Colin Firth) is a concert pianist; Tusker (Stanley Tucci) is a novelist whose early-onset dementia was diagnosed two years ago. The trip is meant to be a farewell to old haunts, but the road pulls out secrets, and their ideas about the months ahead stop lining up.

Macqueen keeps it small — two men, one van, almost no score. Firth and Tucci reportedly asked to swap roles before shooting, and that lived-in closeness carries the whole film. If you go for slow continental dramas about time running out and love that doesn't announce itself, this one lands hard. Stream Supernova online on iFILM.
