[A] compellingly absurdist, increasingly dark narrative of slow-acting liberation.

Less of a feel-good movie, more of a feel-bored movie. Which is unfortunate, because it really does get off to a fetching start in the first 15 minutes or so.

Reverse Shot

Feathers is fueled by a quiet, quaking fury at a social imbalance predicated on inequity, exploitation, and rigid male chauvinism.
