Nightbirds

About This Movie

So, 'Nightbirds' strikes me as a curious blend of family dynamics and mystery, with a hint of the surreal. The characters are pretty relatable, especially Krists, whose daydreams often overshadow reality. You know the type—teenage angst mingled with a crush on the enigmatic neighbor girl, Unda. And then there's Ineta, his mother, a bit of a whirlwind, embodying that mix of love and chaos that so many families have. The pacing has this sort of dreamy quality, making the viewer feel like they’re floating through the story at times. It's not heavy on effects, keeping things grounded, which adds to its charm. It’s like watching a slice of life touch the boundaries of the uncanny, and that’s what really makes it stand out for me.
