Emotionally charged and expertly acted; "Blackbird"might have flaws but you are somehow able to look passed them in this gut-wrenching film.
In this drama based on the 2014 Danish film "Silent Heart", a terminally ill mother arranges to bring her family together one last time before she dies.
Susan Sarandon is sensational in "Blackbird", as the woman struggling with her terminal illness and trying to make peace within her family. The film is well written and directed by Roger Michell and often offers laughs amidst the drama. There are moments of melodrama but it's easy to look passed that when you have a stellar cast like this. I think Sarandon should be nominated for something, as I'm still thinking about her performance days after seeing it. A drama that's well worth the watch.
