Capsule Movie Review - Broken Bird

Capsule Movie Review - Broken Bird The set up for this film is a young girl is traumatized when her family's car goes off a mountain road and she spends days alone with the bodies. Later in life, she becomes a mortuary assistant to recreate the family she lost. This is horror like Hitchcock's Psycho, or a story by Poe. It's a true descent into madness.

The film making is striking and beautiful, the main actress a marvel, and I appreciated seeing it on a large screen.

I suspect the film will find a wider and appreciative audience when it's available on streaming. It might even be considered a cult classic some day.

The film is a singular vision, but not for everyone.

I offer capsule movie reviews on my website at https://www.storyispromise.com/quikcuts.html.

The reviews are meant to offer a glimpse into the mechanics of a film and what it did to satisfy - or not - an audience.
