One of my all time favorites.

Admirable film.

A different way of telling a story

The acting in this movie is really good.

There is interesting story development. Juno Temple is very good in this.What makes this movie OK is that it is a great expose of a character that might deserve to be raped. The writer/director blows it by failing to examine that plot line, or Juno Temple's character failings.There are good story elements, some great dialogue and development, but its overall very poorly executed, even if the intent is controversial plot decisions.Will your life be worse for seeing this movie? No. You might even understand bad work better.

this movie was unique in several ways which was very refreshing. sure, it may have had the whole "small town teenage girl dying for an escape" plot cliché, but it was made into something very different and raw from what you would normally see. the plot (climax especially) was unlike what you would see in most movies. the characters were extremely genuine. the relationship between Lily (Juno Temple) and Alison (Kay Panabaker) was extremely touching and a little bit depressing how much Alison relied on Lily. the dynamic between the two was very authentic and usually what you would observe between any two close, young female friends. overall, the writer and director captured the essence of this movie perfectly, leaving you with wandering thoughts at the end. if you're open minded and looking for a movie with a different sort of perspective, i highly recommend Little Birds.

I was tricked into giving this film a look after seeing a well edited preview. With all due respect to all the people who worked on this thing, it is absolutely horrible. To be fair, there are approximately three to four well framed pieces of cinematography. Other than that, this is utter garbage. The filmmaker 'gazes' mercilessly at his fifteen year old protagonist from beginning (the film literally opens with her naked in a bath tub) to end. The metaphors are obvious and clunky. The story the same 'got to get out of this boring town' cliché that we've all seen ninety six times already. It is essentially straight forward, artless, misanthropy. Pretty much every thing about this film is absolutely embarrassing. Whoever at Sundance decided to insure the making of this film should be promptly fired.

Juno Temple has a talent to choose very contemporary items for her films, and 'Little Birds' is another example of this.In this film we are introduced to teenage girls aged 15, discovering the world around them. Complete with worrying parents, runaway-problems, and other nice & painful experiences.Watching 'Little Birds', for the first time I get the impression that Juno Temple is able to support a fully mature film. The structure of its plot shows no flaws.Representing the young generation, Juno Temple increasingly gets better in making us part of their current problems.
