Gregory S @Gregory566 07/12/2025 Modine and Cage are excellent. No question this the most underrated film for both.

Alan Parker's direction is atmospheric and surreal, just as much as the events in the story that are questionable given their abrupt instances of comedy at the resolution.

I mean errr I don’t want to state the obvious here but. Watched on SKY Cinema.

See more Chris H @RT60525826 08/21/2023 A film with high ideals, perhaps, to show us how war affects people, but it is let down by the fact that Birdy has always been a very strange individual and, to be frank, he seems just the same (albeit even more withdrawn) after his Vietnam experiences. Al is the more interesting character and his insecurities eventually reveal themselves. A lot of the film is made up of mawkish flashbacks to Birdy and Al's childhood, which can be tedious. Eventually the film approaches some kind of conclusion, then falls apart at the very end. It's well acted and is better than I'm making it sound but, honestly, don't expect anything profound here. See more Napon A @RT94866755 05/05/2023 It's a funny idea for a person to be so obsessed about becoming a bird to the point where he wants to be one, but this film makes you really believe that these people do exist.
