Susan Sarandon stars in Blackbird as a terminally ill woman who gathers her family together one last time. The men in the family mostly fade into the background, as the story focuses on the relationship between her two daughters (played by Kate Winslet and Mia Wasikowska), who have a simmering conflict that comes to the surface, and her relationships with them. There is sadness and humour and love and conflict, and some twists that keep things moving along. This was one of the best films we have seen at the festival so far.
