Redding Munsell

Amy Adams could finally win her Oscar with this raw alcoholism tale

The brilliance of the six-time Oscar nominee’s performance here lies in its subtlety and restraint, as well as its emotional rawness.

The 2026 Oscars haven’t even happened yet, but Amy Adams will likely be in the running next year for her towering performance in Kornél Mundruczó’s At the Sea (which premiered in competition at the Berlin Film Festival on Monday evening). Adams has already received six nominations across her career, for films ranging from David O Russell’s bombastic crime comedy American Hustle to the melancholy indie Junebug, but she’s surely never faced a role as demanding or rewarding as this.

Adams plays recovering alcoholic Laura, with the very first image of the film a huge close up of her sallow face. The camera gradually pulls back and we see that she is drumming with ferocious concentration. This is a musical exercise at a rehab centre – she’s been there for six months trying to get sober, after smashing up a car in a drunk driving incident.

The screenplay by Mundruczó and his wife Kata Wéber gradually reveals her back story. She has been running a leading New York ballet company founded by her tyrannical and neglectful father. Now, her own family is in danger of falling apart. On release from rehab, she is whisked back to the Cape Cod summer house where her artist husband Martin (Murray Bartlett from The White Lotus and The Last of Us), teenage daughter Josie (Chloe East), and young son Felix (Redding Munsell) are waiting for her with trepidation. In Laura’s absence, the family seems to have just about held together, but cracks don’t take long to appear. Most ominously of all, we discover that they can no longer afford to live in the moneyed Massachusetts enclave.

-Brittany Snow

Award Winning Actress, Producer, and Director

“So the recurring theme of this film is how blessed we were to have a stellar cast that included Redding Munsell. From the moment I saw his tape, I knew he was the one. Redding, you brought so much light and life to our set every single day. I loved your acting, energy, and all of your drawings. I will keep your handmade card amongst my most precious and treasured belongings. Your family must be just as proud of you as we are and we think they are as ace as you. Thank you again. Sending you the biggest hugs always and forever.”

-Nazrin Choudhury

Award Winning-Actress, Writer, Producer, Director

“It’s a performance filled with both muted and unreserved passion thanks to the veteran actress’ talents and it makes the film worth viewing in itself when paired with the story taking place. Primary supporting roles come about first through Juliet Donenfeld and Redding Munsell as Rachel’s 10-year old daughter Maddy and son Jake respectively, both of whom once more prove that the skills possessed by child actors in this day and age continue to be a triumph, as both Donenfeld and Munsell inbue their characters with grounded credibility.”-One Film Fan
