Review of Little Birds (2011) by Cody M — 04 Jan 2013

Really tragic and relevent tale, that isn't reeking with originality but the themes of innocents and friendship are really interesting and I like that with the tone of it Elgin James obviously wasn't interested in shocking people or leaving the film on a light note, he had his storyline in mind and stuck to it.

also as far as acting goes everyone went into it with raw naturalism which makes the situations all the more painful and shows obvious trust in the Director. Kay Panabaker however seems to be left behind in other reviews with everyone seeming to praise only Juno Temple who was amazing yet the film I feel would be too immature and melodramatic with out the character of Alison and Kay's touching and unflinching portrayal.
