The Starling on Netflix.

It stars Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd, and Kevin Kline.

Has anyone watched this?

I started watching it and it was so bad I had to stop. I shouldn’t say it was a terrible movie since I didn’t watch the whole thing. Just terribly disappointed, especially since I love Starlings and watching murmuration.

had little to do with anything. It was a metaphor, but felt like an afterthought and wasn't worthy of the title. I assume the novel was better fleshed out. Nothing jelled together. Good performances, good casting, terrible script.
