Bird In Hand
US Narrative Competition
Feature | United States | 87 MINUTES | EnglishWomen, Comedy, Drama
Bird Rowe (Alisha Wainwright) takes a trip to visit her hippie mom, Carlotta (Christine Lahti), at her lush, rural house with exciting news of upcoming nuptials. Eager to find a venue, the two scour the area for a potential home for the wedding. But all isn’t as it seems as the young bride-to-be is actually on the hunt for something else entirely. Enter mom’s new neighbors: beguiling couple Dennis (James Le Gros) and Leigh (Annabelle Dexter-Jones). As Bird and Dennis hit it off, the trip leads to hijinks and lustful decisions that upend the lives of all involved.
Melody C. Roscher takes the helm for her directorial feature debut, bringing vibrance and depth to a film that equally balances farcical entanglements with nuanced conversations about history and legacy. The relationship between Wainwright and Lahti leaps off the screen, inviting the audience into a space ripe for meaningful excavation of the sometimes frayed but indescribable bonds between parents and children.—Casey Baron
