A contemporary fairytale about the relationship between a mother and her autistic daughter, and their fascination with starling murmurations. Evie doesn’t seem to talk very much, though we learn she communicates with everything - the plants, grass, water, TV static and the starlings that gather over the sea. As murmurations form, so awakens a sense of understanding, connection and acceptance between mother and daughter. Murmur is a story of beauty and awe, utilising the stunning spectacle of the murmuration, a sign of greatness, as a metaphor for Autism Advocacy.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
