Veering away from her comedy comfort zone, Julia Louis-Dreyfus tackles death, loss, and grief in A24's Tuesday — with a deeply moving new trailer out today.

The feature debut from writer/director Daina O. Pusić, Tuesday sees the Veep/Seinfeld star as Zora, whose teen daughter Tuesday (Lola Petticrew) is dying from a terminal illness. A close pair, they're doing the best they can to process it all, when they're suddenly visited by Death (Arinzé Kene), appearing as a talking macaw. The trailer is emotional stuff, hinting at the power of empathy and love, and the difficulties of processing mortality.

Tuesday hits cinemas this summer. Meanwhile, here's how you can stream A24's best at home.
