TWO-TIME Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts stars in a new Netflix film that is set to tug at our heartstrings: Penguin Bloom.
The drama film is one of those tales of hope and goodness that make you believe in miracles just a little.
In Penguin Bloom, Naomi Watts plays the role of Sam Bloom, a woman who survives a terrible accident but is left disabled for life.
Plunged into depression, she finds unexpected succour in the form of an injured magpie chick, who was abandoned after she fell from her nest.
Sam and her family adopt the chick, who is named Penguin, who in its own way, gives Sam the strength she and her loved ones need to get through the dark times. Sam may not use her legs anymore, but there is meaning in her life left still.
The film is based on a true story and is one of those tales of hope and goodness that make you believe in miracles just a little. And having an actor of Watts’ calibre deepens our faith in the movie a bit more.
She is joined byThe Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays the role of Sam’s husband Cameron.

Penguin Bloom is based on real life events and was adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name by Bradley Trevor Greive and Cameron Bloom.
As Netflix puts it, this film “tells the amazing true story of renewal that occurred when a woman whose life seemed shattered found hope and purpose in her family’s love — and in a bird on its own journey of recovery.
Penguin Bloom is directed by Glendyn Ivin. It also stars Jacki Weaver, Griffin Murray-Johnston, Rachel House, Leeanna Walsman. The film will premiere on Netflix this January 27. For more details, check out its official page on Netflix. (ROHN ROMULO)
