#BlackbirdMovie knocks my scepticism about auteur theory. Some films are solely the product of an individual mind.
I loved the way Michael Flatley kept looking at things. I don’t know what they were or how far away they were, but he kept looking at them. Shrewdly. Sardonically. Blackbirdly.
It is a fantastic film of you like to see rain streaming down hats, or people sliding documents down tables when they could just pass them.

It must be stated firmly up front: Flatley's acting skills are as limited as a Tory Donor's PPE company.

He possesses all the screen presence of a screen. He tries to brood manfully, but instead resembles a drunk struggling with the map at a bus stop

The plot involves a MacGuffin that could either save or doom humanity in the right / wrong hands. The exposition in this scene is so dense, passing black holes get sucked into it
