I can appreciate it.

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2019)

Bird Box (2018) was a film directed by Susanne Bier and starred Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a mother who is trying to get her two children to safety. The world is being tormented by an invisible force that drives people to kill themselves, and over the course of five years we see Malorie's struggle to survive in this apocalyptic world. The premise is interesting, and made me curious to see what happens next, but I just felt that it was unfinished somehow. The characters weren't very compelling, especially Malorie who got me angry on many occasions. I would've loved to see an explanation for what the inviable force was, even if it was hinted at, but we never really get one. The ending seemed rushed; in fact, the over all pacing was strange. Overall, I can really appreciate what they were trying to do with this film and I think some creativity defiantly went into it, but I just wasn't compelled by the characters and the story felt unfinished.
