Review of Sweet Bird of Youth (1987) by Codyz — 28 Jul 2023
Movie was not what I thought it would be.
Set in Florida in the early 60s, it's a tale of gettting old, missing your big chance in life, trying to regain lost fame and love, and political corruption.
Terrific performances by Paul Newman, Shirley Knight, and Geraldine Page as a faded movie star.
I liked how the story points were emphasized through the visual themes of birds and a lighthouse.
