The Thing With Feathers is a wild absurdist tragedy-drama directed by Dylan Southern and starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Synopsis:
After a tragic loss, a grieving father tries to raise his young sons whilst dealing with an unlikely, unpredictable, and uninvited houseguest.
Southern has previously directed a trio of music docs:
Showtime’s Meet Me in the Bathroom (2022)
Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012)
No Distance Left to Run (2010)
The Thing With Feathers is a wonderful departure. It had the best filmmaking of any film I saw this year at Sundance.
In theaters now.
