As the Crow Flies

About This Movie

As the Crow Flies (2021) dives into the turbulent waters of small-town life, weaving a tale of secrecy and desire. You’ve got Mathias, a young delinquent who’s trying to navigate his own identity, and then this Swedish ornithologist shows up, stirring something deep within him. The tension builds slowly, almost painfully, as their connection evolves in stark contrast to the harsh realities of Mathias' world. The cinematography does a great job capturing the isolation of the setting, while the performances, especially that of Mathias, feel raw and authentic. It’s this clash of innocence against a backdrop of hostility that makes the film stand out. The emotional stakes are high and the pacing—well, it lingers just enough to draw you in, yet keeps you on edge. Worth a look for sure.

Focus on character development and emotional depth.Interesting exploration of identity and societal pressures.Notable for its atmospheric cinematography.
