Blackbird

[Opens Sept. 18 in Virtual Cinema sponsored by MSP Film Society; for more information, log on to mspfilm.org.] Emotions run raw in this powerful, moving, somber, well-acted, down-to-earth, heartbreaking, 97-minute remake of the 2014 Danish film Silent Heart based on Christian Torpe's work when troubled, distraught daughters (Kate Winslet and Mia Wasikowska), family (Rainn Wilson and Anson Boon), and a close friend (Lindsay Duncan) come to visit the ALS-afflicted wife (Susan Sarandon) and her devoted, physician husband (Sam Neill) during the Christmas holidays before she takes her own life.
