Magpie (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes

Anne Such a clever-creative-did-not-see-that-coming movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D Magpie is a brilliant film that tells the story of a man trying to turn his wife’s confinement into motherhood to his advantage, only to reveal, through a stunning twist, that the opportunity he thought he had was all a lie. The film’s focus on the imbalance of responsibility in parenting was, for me, more than enough reason to watch. But the twist at the end of the film completely changes everything, leaving not only Ben but also the audience in shock. And, of course, the truth revealed at the end shifts the meaning of everything we’ve watched throughout the film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Harry O That you don’t know where it’s going builds credible tension throughout its short run-time. That you REALLY didn’t know where it’s going made it that much more enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Audience Member A nice little story told by Tom Bateman, with a leading performance by his lady friend, the one, and only, Daisy Ridley. It's a solid indie flick with a good slow burn type of story which concludes with a nice pay off. Really well directed by Sam Yates. A great choice if you are in the mood for a little indie flick with strong performers, and an intriguing story. I'd say that Tom does a really good job with the writing in this one because of how the flick concludes. I do not need a movie which has a point to prove, but this movie does eventually find a message to tell by the end, and the way it's told.. is a lot of fun. Thank you!
