Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Whenever the camera focuses on Cumberbatch, however, things clarify. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast An excruciatingly literal affair, not to mention a repetitive one, spinning in circles to dizzying, and ever-diminishing, ends. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety The film is quite taken with its own ambition, which it signifies visually, with a nearly square aspect ratio and images of burnished gloom. But the whole thing is oppressive and, in an odd way, not very interesting. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant Southern’s creative style and direction to manifest grief onscreen interconnects with the horror genre, it's just not entirely effective. Rated: 6/10 Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Network Grim, but Benedict Cumberbatch is excellent Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Thing With Feathers is essential viewing for families, and its deft take on loss and healing never obscures the fact that sometimes, the Crow won’t move out, and that’s okay. Rated: 8.5/10 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
