The Starling . Netflix 2021
Starring Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd and Kevin Kline
A woman coming to terms with the loss of a child contends with a threatening bird in her garden. Whilst her husband struggles with his mental health.
Doesn’t sound much fun - some reviews say it’s awful
But we liked it
More drama than comedy
We found it intriguing 🤨 with some unexpected outcomes . Yes it was far fetched , a bit off the wall, classic McCarthy , but touchingly different, well acted and the ‘bird’ doesn’t become a best friend like in a Disney movie. Poignant
Has anyone else seen it?
