A hit at Locarno and New Directors/New Films, Suburban Birds, the debut film from Qiu Sheng, was called a cross between Stand by Me and The Trial by The Hollywood Reporter upon its premiere. The story follows two young men named Hao—one a schoolboy who finds his friends keep turning up missing, the other an engineer who is investigating a series of sinkholes that have been appearing around a rapidly growing Chinese city. See this one early—it’s the type of film you’re likely to want to come back and catch again before its run with us ends.
