Earthquake Bird (2019)

Earthquake Bird is a psychological drama set in 1980s Tokyo, following an expat woman whose past resurfaces during a police investigation into her friend's disappearance. Alicia Vikander leads the film with a quietly unsettling performance. Riley Keough plays the friend at the center of the mystery, bringing her own restless energy to the role. Their dynamic curdles into something charged as the story unfolds. The site carries 2 scenes from the film worth catching. One finds Vikander baring more than her character's composure, while the other lets Keough's screen presence turn genuinely explicit. Both scenes land with the same brooding intimacy that defines the movie. Fans of either actress will find this slow burn worth sitting through for those two payoffs alone.
