Penguin Bloom - Reviews

...despite its feel-good formula, “Penguin Bloom” still manages to inspire and impress, thanks to some striking visuals and strong performances...

...is a light, uplifting tale about an Australian paralyzed in an accident, who starts to recover and redirect her life thanks to a magpie her family takes in.

Naomi Watts saved by a magpie in charming drama.

...the director has chosen fewer words, and more atmosphere to poignantly get the point across and it’s propped up well by sustained performances from Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln.

Naomi Watts Is the Lead, but This True Story Belongs to Incredible Avian Co-Star

The cinematography is quite beautiful and used as a powerful tool in conveying the Blooms' story, but so is Watts' quiet and determined performance as Sam.

...a three-tissue weeper based on the true story of a family fractured by a horrific accident...

...ett gott, rart hantverk, med fina skådespelarinsatser.

Ta med ett oöppnat paket pappersnäsdukar, drabbas av livets oförutsägbarhet, och förundras över hur bra skådespelare skator kan vara.
