Full Plot Details

In Brooklyn, engaged Noah and Barri have hit a rough spot in their relationship. Their issues stem from what may be an impending mid-life crisis for thirty-six year old Noah, and financial issues partly from Barri's unemployment, which has led to them taking in a roommate, Jean, Barri's restaurant managing lesbian friend. These issues are only exacerbated by Barri and Jean contemplating going into a Barri-initiated joint venture to renovate then open and manage a resort if they can find the necessary property upstate, this proposition despite they having no money and as of yet no investors. Noah believes Jean only agreed to the proposition because she is in love with Barri herself. Although Barri states she is all right with it, another issue may be Noah working for his ex-girlfriend Eleanor in her small home-based media firm. Although Eleanor is also primarily a lesbian, she and Noah only broke up because of wanting different things in life. Noah and Barri largely get along with the other people in their rent controlled building: the Anders - successful artist Damien, his wife Annabell and their young daughter, Wren - the building owners, Damien with who Noah often plays poker; and octogenarian Sylvia, whose Floridian son Anthony often comes for visits, Anthony included within those poker games. After Sylvia passes away from what is officially listed as natural causes the result of a heart attack, Barri begins to suspect Anthony of having murdered his mother for the insurance money. Barri's feelings are largely due to what she considers Anthony's odd behavior surrounding the death and suspicious activities after the fact. While Jean supports Barri, Noah dismisses what becomes Barri's singular focus on Sylvia being murdered as sheer madness. As Barri and Jean progress with their clandestine investigation of Anthony, they begin to believe that Damien is also somehow involved. With Jean implying that yet another one of who Noah considers a friend is a murderer, their relationship may not be able to survive, that is unless they end up on the same page, which if Barri holds steadfast to her beliefs means providing Noah with more concrete proof. However, if Barri is correct, it may mean their lives are in danger.

Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 9/10 by Richard BrodyAs performers, Levine and Takal are both practiced and casual; as a director, Levine displays a sharp comedic touch; the result is self-deprecating and self-revealing.
NPR - 9/10 by Tomas HachardIt's evident that the film is largely a lark, that Levin is having fun creating comic sparks by smashing a murder mystery together with a group of self-centered detectives, plot details be damned.
Cinemacy - 8/10 by Morgan RojasWhile there are funny moments, mostly coming from Levine and Shawkat's performances, most of the film is lackluster, especially the relationships between the characters.
Under the Radar - 8/10 by Sarah WinshallLike much of Woody Allen's mid-career work, it's a light romantic comedy handled with aplomb.
Vice - 8/10 by Michael NordineLevine deftly toes the seriocomic line, making us sure nothing underhanded has actually occurred in one scene and making us question that certainty in the next.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 8/10 by Kathy Fennessy[Lawrence Michael] Levine juices the intrigue with humor (a dub-intensive score elevates the tension), and that helps to keep things engaging, but man oh man, can these people be exasperating.
Seattle Weekly - 7/10 by Brian MillerMarried filmmakers Takal and Levine have an easy rapport, and they elicit likable performances from all their cast. (Even the villains are hard to hate.)
User Review - 8/10 by Peter FQuirky, funny, and engaging, if #wildcanaries will have a downfall it will be in its weak structure. Thanks to the performances and the fun script, I was engaged throughout.
User Review - 8/10 by John KUnbelievably well made for a small budget. Good jokes, great tension, real characters & situations.
User Review - 6/10 by John MEntertaining but pretty lazy in its execution of mystery plot intricacies. The chemistry between all the relatable characters keeps the film afloat for the most part until it tries to tie up its absurd mystery in a bland 2 minute window near the end. Still, it's worth a watch. It's very rare to see mysteries this casual which I kind of admired.
