Description: A family
takes in an injured Magpie that makes a profound difference in their lives.
Review: A happy family with three sons is in danger of falling apart when mom
Sam falls off a balcony while traveling in Thailand. She is confined to her
wheelchair for the rest of ther life and that weighs heavily on Sam and her
family. When oldest son Noah suddenly comes home with a baby Magpie, a bond
grows between Sam and bird Penguin and it proves to be a bright spot for her
and her family.
Naomi Watts is one of my
favorites and she carries this film effortlessly. She is very well supported by
Andrew Lincoln, who plays her husband Cam.
The story is a bit
predictable, but here it doesn’t bother me. Mostly because it’s based on true
story. And it has a very satisfying ending, which you already know when you
start the film.
It’s a perfect family film actually.
A beautiful looking movie, with a touching story and great acting.
