Blackbird

Välgjort familjedrama om döden.

Sarandon is a welcome, prickly presence, unyielding in her intention to go out with at least some faculties intact...

This is very much the Hollywood version, with Oscar-winning actresses, sad violins on the score signaling serious drama, and a gorgeous setting, the English shore standing in for Connecticut.

This may be the most beautifully complete film you'll see all year.

Susan Sarandon at the top of her game as a woman taking charge of her death.
