After a tragic loss, a grieving father tries to raise his young sons whilst dealing with an unlikely, unpredictable and uninvited houseguest.
Following the death of his wife, a young father's (Cumberbatch) hold on reality crumbles and a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons (real-life brothers Henry and Richard Boxall). A man-like crow, seemingly brought to life from the father's work as an illustrator, is about to become a very real part of all of their lives, ultimately guiding them towards the new shape their family must take. Anyone who has had an experience with loss will deeply resonate with this film; it will be a little distressing, yet somewhat cathartic viewing. Cumberbatch’s full-throttle performance is the best he has been in years.
