“Magpie” (*1/2 out of four) was a joyless, excessively weird melodrama about 2 parents (Daisy Ridley and Shazad Latif) who find their whole lives turned upside down and their existence and relationship questioned when their daughter (Matilda Lutz) is cast along a controversial film star. Good performances can only do so much in a film so off-putting and aloof. Might have worked better as a character play but it’s awfully tough to take as a feature film.
