Leave your thoughts about Bird People.
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...a strange and sometimes discomfiting movie that occasionally gets a little heavy-handed as it traces the trajectories of two disrupted souls through the depressingly neutral territory of an airport hotel. |
| NewcityRay PridePotential narratives, other characters, other lives, could connect through Ferran's film, that's in the air, but will Gary and Audrey? Details, details. |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThere are moments of beauty and charm, but also ones that felt rather broad, like an extract from a live-action Disney movie or something. It is fitfully interesting, but nearly broke our twee detectors. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayThe emotions evoked by Bird People should be familiar to anyone who ever stared out the window of a classroom, imagining what it would be like to leave school, hop on a bike, and go for a ride around the mostly empty neighborhood. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloIt’s also just magnificently goofy, unafraid to court ridicule and confident enough to take captivating detours. |
| The NationStuart KlawansWhen, at last, Ferran switches her attention fully to Demoustier's character, Bird People finally takes off. It's a moment worth waiting for -- and once it's happened, the movie does not let you down again. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerA low-key charming diptych character piece that was also divisive, at least according to the chatter in the lines at Cannes. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesDid you know there's a sparrow sitting just outside your window? Probably not -- they're so common that they are practically invisible. That's what the movie Bird People is getting at, in its own charming and humorous way. |
| Pasadena WeeklyMichael NordineThere are different kinds of bird people in Pascale Ferran's winsome romantic drama, some more worth watching than others. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerIt’s a tricky proposition that will surely ruffle the feathers of many viewers, but one that also makes a curious, if lasting, impression, thanks in part to strong turns from actors Anais Demoustier and Josh Charles. |
