Blackbird

I watched this movie only because it had Connor Jessup, who I have followed since Falling Skies. For the most part, I really loved this movie. The acting was great, the story was powerful, and the main characters were anything but one-dimensional. The one thing that made it hard for me to love the movie was the "ending". I put it in quotes because the movie didn't really end, it just stopped. While I don't need to have a feel-good, neatly wrapped ending, I do think a movie needs an ending with some finality, even if it is an ending to that part of the story before the next part starts.

Other than the ending, I really did love the movie. It was powerful, emotional, and not always comfortable to watch. But it was (excluding the ending) worth it.
