I'm going to watch Songbird. There is a small role for Jenna Ortega in this film, which is the reason I got the blu-ray. Even so, I think anytime she isn't the lead in a film, there has been an error in casting. The film itself isn't that well received, but I'll make my own mind up.

Seems to me there were some logic errors to the story, but if you look past that it is a quite nice romantic story. It's also not so much about a pandemic as it is about the loneliness of lockdown. Especially the substory with the wheelchair bound ex-military guy and the aspiring singer highlighted that sense of being disconnected from the rest of the world. Sofia Carson played a really nice Sara in the romance plot, more than a girl that needs saving. I know her from Descendants where she was good too of course.

Sadly Jenna's scene seems to be cut completely, she doesn't appear in the film at all, not even in the Deleted Scenes (of which there are many, almost more than a full film's worth). She did film a scene, there are behind the scenes photographs out there.

Only in the making-of I found out that they filmed it fully on mobile camera's, I didn't notice this at all while watching. These are some kind of purpose built boxes that stream to the cloud for the rest of the team. These may actually remain useful post-pandemic.
