The Starling (2021 Theodore Melfi)

The CGI starling was, I feel, a mistake, and there's two too many montages to songs. But we like Melfi's other films (St. Vincent, Hidden Figures; Going in Style he co-wrote), and William Hurt's usually worth watching in anything. 

Melissa McCarthy's struggling on her own, with husband Chris O'Dowd in care home following death of their baby girl, pesky bird keeps attacking her. Some rather obvious symbolism going on.
