It's a quiet neighborhood with older residents; the Lemkes (M. Emmet Walsh, Olympia Dukakis) and the Bayberrys (Mary Beth Hurt, Peter Gerety). Moody (Aidan Quinn) is a cop. Donna (Macy Gray) is a music teacher. Everybody is fascinated when mysterious Wren (Rachel Brosnahan) moves in. She gets lots of letters for unknown reasons. There is bird watching.
There are some great veteran actors. I figured that I would check this out for Brosnahan. She's really doing the quiet mysterious type here. The movie is doing a lot of quiet mysterious setup. The writer and the director seems to be veteran on movie sets who are trying to expand their work. They need one of them to be a veteran of her job to fulfill their vision. They have something here although it's somewhat scattered. They just need a bit of help to create the needed magical surrealism and tie it all together.
