Review of The Starling

The Starling (2021)
3/10
Miscast and edited, probably other things too, didn't finish it.

I love Melissa usually and she did a good job with what she was given. O'dowd is usually serviceable but he is just wrong for this movie and this role. I couldn't get past the fact that he was just horribly miscast. Zero chemistry between Melissa and him, who are supposed to be a married couple going through a hard time. I just didn't buy it, and the more they tried the more i didn't buy it.

Maybe it was this stumble that made the movie hard to edit, because it was all over the place. The bird, the husband, the bird, the working at walmart but owning a very nice five bedroom home on 10 acres in the country. Tonally it couldn't make up its mind.

It's a shame because I usually enjoy everything MM does, but I can't recommend this one.
