Teen girls seek respite from bleak life in mature drama.
June 10, 2016
There have been a bunch of films about teen girls with a wild streak getting in over their heads, and Little Birds isn't all that different, though it does have a bit more of a sense that this is the teen feeling it, not the adult looking back.

Despair may be an emotion of emptiness, of the absence of hope, but that doesn't mean a movie about someone spiraling down into that emotion has to feel so empty as well.

Coming-of-age, semi-autobiographical drama has flashes of adventure and danger, but too much 'So what?'.

There's a moralistic structure there, but it leaves Lily in a place that's scarcely more reassuring than the one she first abandoned. That's what makes Little Birds not just a lesson but, in its rambling way, an organic journey.

What helps Little Birds retain its innocence is the girls' mixed sense of fear and liberation that comes from their new experience.

Quirky tale of female empowerment about coming of age on L.A.'s mean streets.
August 29, 2012
Like its teenage heroine, "Little Birds" is stubbornly convinced of its own unique profundity. So it's a good thing this moodily self-absorbed drama redeems itself with just enough endearing innocence.

Fragile tale of how a lifelong friendship forged between two innocent girls is tested when they venture into a volatile, violent world.
August 31, 2012
The dreamy shots of a poisoned sea in "Little Birds" show an imagination sorely missing from its drab plot and characters.

It is hard not to be reminded of other movies - like Larry Clark's "Kids," Nick Cassavetes's "Alpha Dog," Andrea Arnold's "Fish Tank" - that explore similar territory with greater risk and originality.
