"Bird Box" (2018) Directed by Susanne Bier #filmreview #moviereview #movies

"Bird Box was the 16th all time feature length release from Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier at the time of it’s release 5 years ago, and would become the most watched film on Netflix during it’s immediate online release, retaining this much vaunted position until 2021 and the release of the Rawson Marshall directed Red Notice. Before the catharsis of a rare happy ending, Bier navigates this apocalyptic horror through the choppy waters of a non-linear and jagged timeline that sees a past and present five years in the life of “Malorie” (Sandra Bullock) as well as 42 fragmented hours in a rowing boat. Trusting to luck or good fortune, faith, promises of sanctity and the sheer determination to stay alive and protect the vulnerable inside her river life raft, no-one can look at or see the world around them, a world full of “bio-warfare” leading to mass psychosis, hysteria and instant suicidal desires".

The above is a brief extract from my spoiler free review of "Bird Box" which I penned and posted to my Medium blog site on 8th April 2023 and which also forms a central part of Volume 1 of my "essential film reviews collection" with all 7 volumes free to read if you have a Kindle "Unlimited" package.
