Bird of Prey

About This Movie

Bird of Prey is a curious character study that meanders through the mind of Hugo, a recent Anthropology grad grappling with the weight of knowledge and isolation. The atmosphere is thick with existential dread, yet there's an intriguing playfulness in his dynamic with Luisa, the cleaning lady. It’s almost like a dance, balancing between heavy themes and lighter moments. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to sit with Hugo’s thoughts, which can feel both tedious and enlightening. There are no flashy effects here; it’s all about the dialogue and performance. The film captures that lonely state of post-academic life, where introspection can feel both liberating and confining. It’s an interesting take on the struggles of intellectual pursuits and human connection.
