Edgar Allan Poe would be proud!

The thing with Feathers (based on a novel by Max Porter) is a poetic and symbolic allegory exploring the struggle against grief and the reluctant reconciliation with it, ultimately preventing the descent into despair. The film weaves an atmospheric narrative that blends elements of horror, creating a haunting tension that resonates throughout. A standout feature of the film is the presence of an intriguing figure, an anthropomorphic raven. It is a unique creation that shifts between villain and ally, drawn from the protagonist's artwork.*** Benedict Cumberbatch delivers an outstanding performance, showcasing his remarkable theatrical depth range. His portrayal captures the emotional depth of the character with nuance, subtlety and vulnerability. Additionally, the performances of the children in the film are very good, complementing Cumberbatch's portrayal and framing the protagonist's journey with precision.*** The Thing with Feathers is a film that invites reflection. It's a challenging watch-one that demands emotional engagement-but ultimately offers an enriching experience, especially for those eager to witness Cumberbatch's extraordinary performance.We were really lucky to see him before the viewing of the film in this year's Berlinale.

Overworked, sometimes confusing metaphor
