The Painted Bird

"Powerful film! Absolutely worth watching... especially if you’re someone who enjoys foriegn films. It’s a wartime drama... drama... so not an action-packed war film. But, its engrossing, and feels shorter than its long runtime."

"A journey into the hell of war through the eyes of a child, horror is everywhere, the only beauty is in its aesthetic melancholy, with breathtaking black and white images. I thought the movie could have balanced the story better and focused on its development, as I felt that too many violent, graphic and unnecessary scenes took over, the overtones seeming to be there more to shock gratuitously than to tell or fill out a story."

"Wow....This word describes exactly what you'll think and say after watching this movie!! You definitely have never seen a movie like this before! Put it this way...it was banned from theaters all over the world!!"
