Dinner & a Movie continues with the story of author and wildlife rehabilitator Terry Masear who dedicates her life to saving injured hummingbirds in Los Angeles. Her compassion and empathy serve as a reminder that grace can be found in the smallest of acts and the tiniest of creatures. The Guardian calls this film “a shimmering, densely layered film about love and resilience, about how we live with and recover from trauma, and about letting go.

In a recent New York Times review, “The subjects of “Every Little Thing” — which the final credits identify as “Terry Masear and wild friends” — do in fact produce awe, both for the birds’ remarkable bodies and Masear’s immense joy in caring for them. Her close attention for many years is clearly motivated by affection and by gratitude for this life work. They’re not just hummingbirds to her: They’re beings living on earth, neighbors to humans, a reason to be glad. As with most creatures, taking the time and expending the patience to see them up close only increases her love.” (Sally Aiken, New York Times, Jan. 12,2025)
