In Benedict Cumberbatch's new film, 'The Thing With Feathers,' a key tableau draws direct inspiration from the album cover for the Who's 'The Kids Are Alright.'

The actor is at his best, most alive and inventive here. But The Thing With Feathers doesn’t know what kind of movie to be.

Grief is a winged beast that squawks and mocks the living in The Thing with Feathers, the story of a widower struggling to cope with the recent death of his beloved wife while being pestered by a giant talking crow.
