The Crows

About This Movie

The Crows (2019) dives into the oddity of urban wildlife through a lens that's both absurd and oddly heartfelt. Tyler Aug, the filmmaker, captures Rochester's bizarre crow situation with a mix of deadpan humor and earnest inquiry. The pacing is a bit all over the place, which somehow adds to the charm, as you never quite know what to expect next. The interviews with locals are a hoot—some are genuinely exasperated, while others treat the crows like celebrity nuisances. It’s not just about the crows, though; it’s a reflection on community and how we coexist with nature, weirdly profound amidst the laughs. The mockumentary style really makes it stand out, and Aug’s commitment to his subject is palpable.
