It doesn’t help that Melfi directs “The Starling” with all the grace of an investor presentation for the Hallmark greeting card company. It is a visually flat film which adds to the sense that the main creative drive here was to make the audience cry.
Most of us are open to our feelings when we watch movies, but they have to be earned through character, depth, and realism. We can feel it when tears are not earned with honesty.
“The Starling” has pretty clearly weighed in on how much he wants your tears to take a truly emotional flight. These two professions merge into one, as Larry takes an interest in Lilly’s starling and in Lilly personally when they become friends.
