Dementia is a syndrome that brings with it a unique grief: the only kind that can be shared, for a time at least, between the mourned and their mourners, until the latter are left to it themselves,…

: As a longtime couple figuring out how to live — or not — under dementia’s ever-encroaching shadow, their joint thespian grace and reserve take on an undertow of raging, disorganized despair.

As it follows sixtysomething partners Sam and Tusker in a cluttered camper van through the north of England, on what looks to be their last vacation before Tusker’s health severely deteriorates, Macqueen’s talky original screenplay promises no surprises: There’s only one way their journey can go, and the film resolves to follow it as intimately as possible.

On the face of it, not much happens in “Supernova,” as Frank and Tusker chat, cuddle, argue, say a few goodbyes and take in all the ravishingly autumnal Yorkshire scenery they can get — though Mike Leigh’s regular cinematographer Dick Pope finds as many planes of beauty in the couple’s duskily lit indoor embraces as in those rolling green-to-ochre landscapes.
