But first things first.īullock, playing rough-around-the-edges Malorie, displays her best take-control, bad-assed self in a horror film that makes you jumpy for a long time afterward. It involves redemption from an unexpected source. It's the surprise ending that catches viewers off guard, then has them reveling in mega-relief. In a dystopian film stuffed with symbolism – a river, blindfolds, human vision, chirping birds, literal and figurative blindness – actress Sandra Bullock pulls off what many struggling mothers experience – enduring tough times, heartbreak and loss to eventually emerge into the light. Motherhood, in all its complexity, symbolizes everything in Bird Box, the horror Netflix film that has snagged 45 million block-busting account views over the otherwise traditional, heartwarming or bland Santa-filled holiday streaming fare.
