A Bird in the Hand is Worth 4 Stars

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 2019)

OK let's start with a positive comment, I did want to enjoy this movie but as it progressed I found myself having to force my involvement and enjoyment.
Sandra B did a reasonable job with a pretty basic role, her character ( an Artist) wasn't really fleshed out or developed much and the attempt to portray her as a bit of a shut in ( reclusive / reluctant) to venture outside herself and her home was a weak attempt to develop her character as someone who would be suited to surviving a claustrophobic world from behind a blindfold.
I didn't enjoy her bland approach to parenting which was basically shouting lots and being pretty mean to her young family, which didn't feel like a parent wanting the best for her family more a poorly developed character attempting to act as stressed and pressured.
Plus her need to be repetitive in her dialogue also wore thin after a while.
As the story coasted along I felt myself thinking surely the outcome isn't that the radio message regards safety and sanctuary isn't a place full of people who are visually impaired so safe from the Aliens... guess what it was I was 100% correct..... So I felt short changed and the ending felt forced...rushed and as if they ran out of ideas.
Would I recommend it : No... Would I watch Again : No
Would I recommend another movie : Yes go watch Annihilation with Natalie Portman
