Sybil works at an undertakers. It's a lonely job, with few perks. So she takes solace where she can.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

With an unerring but sardonic sense of how death presses in on us all, this is a promisingly pungent debut from Mitchell.

Rated: 4/5

What a Scream Podcast

...Broken Bird softly caresses some taboo subjects, whilst also exploring how a western society deals –or doesn’t deal– with the reality of grief and death.

Rated: 5/5

AIPT

The two stories come to a head in a wild third act. There are shocking reveals, beatings, kidnappings, and lots of corpses. It is a lot to take in, including some things that even the movie seems to forget about. But it is an overall creepy watch.

THN

Featuring a killer performance from Rebecca Calder, Broken Bird is a bleak, Gothic psychological thriller that is capable of comfortably sitting alongside Saint Maud and May.

Rated: 4/5

Shadows on the Wall

Blackly comical attitudes add an offbeat kick to this terrific looking British thriller, which perhaps turns a bit too grim as its plot swirls around very nasty behaviour in a mortuary.

Rated: 3/5
