Bird Box

Bullock grasps Gravity of sightless situation as she struggles to accept children in The Even Blinder Side. Exceptionally eclectic cast gather in not so Quiet Place, instead filling it with clunky backstories while working out what’s Happening. Though the premise is outside the box, the payoff is for the birds.

Brothers (2004)

Thomsen returns to comfort zone as traumatized dysfunctional family member. A film more powerful for what it doesn’t say than for what it does. Supporting cast perform well, most notably Nielson who somehow snuck her way in. Middle East scenes steal show and perhaps degrade from more subtle family elements.
