Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Let me start by saying I have nothing against the actors in this movie, I'm sure they tried really hard, nor do I have a problem with the overall premise of the film. I do, however take offense to the writing. I mean, the female lead gets so traumatized after realizing that Captain Highway Guy (I think that was his name) sometimes has to mercy kill dogs that she cried in a corner, left him, and got a job in another town... Keep in mind, it was not her dog, she did not actually witness the shooting, and the dog was suffering. A normal functioning human would be able to shake the bummed out feeling off after such an experience. I'm convinced this writer is not a human and has never met one. The dialogue is forced and awkward. The scene where he meets the old man who owned his parrot as a child is cringe worthy. Is the old man supposed to be mentally handicapped or is it bad writing/acting? The climax comes when our titular Highway Hero is forced to prove his love of dogs by sacrificing himself for his love's pet and gets hit by a car... that's just... it just is, I don't even know. She then kidnaps him from the hospital while he's drugged and hauls him along on her journey to her family's house, roll credits. I am convinced this was written by a skin walking alien who was tasked with making a film about the so called Hoo-mans to be viewed at the space zoo's Earth exhibit.

I just can't say enough about this great little indie jewel. All the actors shine, the production values are superb and the normal compressions and compromises inherent in bringing a sparkling novel to the screen have been thoughtfully and artfully chosen. Sure, all we jaded film fans have seen it before, just not always this heartfelt and fun. This film left me wanting more, in the good way.I highly recommend this for those who want to share a moving experience with someone special. Even better share this with someone you want to become special.This film is virtually bereft of objectionable content. Younger children may become invested in characters that suffer the vicissitudes of temporal existence. There are some suggestive situations. Parents may want to preview the movie before sharing it with the family. That said, a very rewarding film. Highly recommended!

I seen your film in Gainesville, Georgia, through the Arts Council, before it made its premier. I thought it was a wonderful film. The story and characters were very believable. The range of emotions caught me by surprise, I realized that I was drawn into this endearing film. You feel the happiness, sadness, shock, loss, and amazement. It was thoroughly enjoyable. You learned the characters depth as the film progressed. The film presented itself on par with high budget films, very professional. The ending was a surprise and welcomed. I can hardly wait to buy it, I feel it is something I could watch many times over. Congratulations on a great film and wish you all the success for your hard work.

I read a review of this film and was drawn to the story line, being an animal lover. A bird draws two unlikely people together. I thought this would be like Bringing Up Baby or What's Up Doc or other screwball comedy. I expected something wacky and cute. But it was so much more. Yes, it's antic, but the spiritual aspect totally caught me by surprise. The mystery of the bird represents the unfathomable forces which interlace peoples' paths and create love. Bird of the Air is witty and sweet and deftly directed. The two leads are presently unknown but it's easy to predict that will change. (And while the bird is awesome, the dog had me at first sight.)
