‘Bird Box’ Film Review

Grade: B+

 For the past month, it has been really hard to go on Facebook without running into a ‘Bird Box’ meme; you know, the image of Sandra Bullock wearing a blindfold while rowing a boat with two kids inside it? I have honestly never seen a movie as talked about/hyped up since Disney’s ‘Frozen’ back in 2013, let alone one from Netflix. I have heard of shows like ’13 Reasons Why’ and ‘Orange is the New Black’ going viral, but as far as Netflix original movies go, they are rarely discussed. I am glad that the hype train has given me the opportunity to check it out myself. From what I can tell you, ‘Bird Box’ is actually good, though I do not get the hype.
