"Magpie" is a twisty neo-noir thriller featuring Daisy Ridley as Anette, a woman trapped in a modernist glass box with a useless husband and a screaming baby. The film's dry and dark humor, along with its posh British composure, adds depth to the story. Directed by Sam Yates and based on an idea by Ridley, the film showcases a female-driven narrative and explores themes of revenge and empowerment. Premiering at SXSW 2024, "Magpie" offers a wild and satisfying ride, with Ridley's character ultimately taking a stand against the mistreatment she has endured.
