Magpie Review: Daisy Ridley Stuns In Compelling, Intoxicating Psychological Thriller

A captivating thriller starring Daisy Ridley.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Domestic thrillers can be deliciously messy, but Magpie, starring the alluring Daisy Ridley in an ambitious and delectable role, takes things to the next level. The psychological thriller is engrossing, its slow-burn buildup feeding the fire that burns brightly in an immensely satisfying final act that is equal parts chilling and petty.

The role itself is far more complex than meets the eye, and Ridley, who conceived of the idea for the film, seamlessly traverses the highs and lows of her character. Annette is written as a sad, lonely wife and the way Ben acts attempts to convince us of it, which lends to Annette’s increasingly erratic behavior. Magpie begins to turn her into a woman scorned, and it’s easy to see her driving motivations for certain behaviors. After all, Ben is an inattentive husband, though he plays the victim with Alicia. This dynamic works. As Annette’s actions become more erratic, the further Magpie establishes its brilliant final act.
