Il nido dello storno

Very relatable film for anyone who has lost a baby. It was gorgeous. Loved every minute of it. It makes me terribly sad to read all the bad reviews. I'm certain you don't have to have had lived experience to love this film, UT for those of us who have, it was so wonderful to see the aftermath of the event played out in such real world terms. Grief is sad, grief is funny. This is life. I absolutely loved it.

"The Starling" is not a comedy, but a film for viewers to feel that characters' pain and grief. It is a nice surprise to see how the comedians could portray these deep feelings effectively.

Beautiful story of dealing with loss and grief and breaking out of the bubble we form to shut out the pain. Heartfelt moments show us how difficult it is to process pain and how we need to allow others (human or otherwise) to help see our world differently. Comedic moments lighten up the difficult issues without taking anything away from central issues.

"The Starling" is definitely not your average run-of-the-mill comedy from actress Melissa McCarthy. And I have to admit that when I sat down to watch this 2021 Netflix comedy drama then I was expecting it to be another archetypical McCarthy comedy.

I am glad that I opted to sit down and watch "The Starling", from writer Matt Harris and director Theodore Melfi, because this movie was enjoyable. Not only was it an enjoyable movie to watch, but it also had a very well-written and beautiful storyline. And the movie also showcase that Melissa McCarthy is more than just your average comedian, because she really puts on a strong and memorable performance in this movie.

The storyline told in "The Starling" wasn't really a comedy as per se. Sure, there were some pseudo-funny moments here and there, but the movie had its focus on the drama aspect of the story, and that panned out quite well, especially since it was a rather emotional and well-written storyline.

"The Starling" has a great cast ensemble with some rather impressive names on the list, with the likes of Melissa McCarthy - obviously. But also with the likes of Kevin Kline, Timothy Olyphant, Chris O'Dowd, Rosalind Chao and Loretta Devine.

I was genuinely entertained by "The Starling", and it is a movie that I will recommend you to sit down and watch. If you haven't already seen "The Starling", and if you get the chance to do so, you should, because this is a rather good movie and a nice chance of pace from Melissa McCarthy.

My rating of "The Starling" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

A very different movie for what you can expect from the cast, but it does not mean that it is s a bad movie, the comedy drama movies are the most difficult to play right, but if you really want to see this movie properly, you will realise that it is very deep and full emotions.... And also once in a while.. Funny too... Because every rose comes with a few spikes and fragrances....... Just enjoy the characters and stop moaning about what you expected... That is pointless.
