Earthquake Bird (2019)
Fine acting and well shot, but story doesn't quite grasp
17 November 2019 - 12 out of 18 users found this review helpful.
Another title in the never-ending churn of book to film adaptations from the Netflix studios, this is a fine performance from Alicia Vikander who is captivating throughout as an emotionally vulnerable Swede living in Japan, with a decent supporting cast.
The film promotes the Japanese setting well including a good showcase of culture, attitudes and landscape but the film has pacing issues which aren't helped by the random mixture of flashback and psychosis nor the unsatisfying ending.
A decent watch, but fails to deliver any real impact.
