Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA profile of three whistleblowers who are very critical of America's secret drone program.
Audiences Everywhere - 9/10 by Nathanael HoodA chilling, disturbing look into the realities of America's secret drone war in the Middle East.
We Got This Covered - 9/10 by Lauren Humphries-BrooksNational Bird is a scathing and clearly delineated expose on America’s use of drone warfare and the effects it has on both the victims of the attacks and the crews operating the aircraft.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Michael O'SullivanKennebeck may be a newcomer to feature filmmaking, but her grasp of the material is accomplished.
Screen International - 8/10 by Fionnuala HalliganNational Bird shows that there is indeed a horrible reckoning, but it mostly comes from within. This is a personal film about guilt.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kimber MyersNational Bird is powerful cinematic journalism.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by John FinkMixing talking heads and on-the-ground footage, National Bird is a vital film about the true cost of war, well-reported by Kennebeck.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Craig D. LindseyNational Bird shows that war will always be hell, even for those who aren’t on the battleground. Kennebeck directs with a cold, distant eye, almost giving her subjects the same treatment they gave all those poor souls they targeted.
The Blue Lenses - 8/10 by Alexandra Heller-NicholasIt is a thoughtful, sensitive and probing look at the ethics of drone warfare, carefully balancing its focus on those who press the buttons with the very real horrors faced by those on the receiving end, particularly innocent civilians.
Guardian - 8/10 by Alex NeedhamWith stealth and elegance, Kennebeck brings these alarming truths into the light.
