A Birder's Guide to Everything Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It actually gets the birds right. It's the humans who are hard to identify.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
Instead of pandering to one and only one sentiment, this engaging offering -- poised pleasantly between quaint and quirky -- does entirely right by adolescent feeling.
The Playlist
Rodrigo Perez
The lead teens in particular give the material a realness that may not have been there on the page, and the filmmakers know enough not push the quaint story beyond the safe parameters it operates in.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
This familiar-feeling coming-of-age tale benefits from an authentic script and believable performances.
Chicago Sun-Times
Mary Houlihan
The trek through the serene, beautiful woods highlights the banter between the quartet as truths are unveiled and friendships strengthened. The young actors shine revealing lights on their characters.
Slant Magazine
Drew Hunt
That tidy resolution is telegraphed from the outset, but the energetic, never-mocking tone of all involved allows the film to stake its place alongside some of the genre's stronger and more enduring touchstones.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
That very rare thing, a movie about teenagers where the characters actually seem like real teenagers, as opposed to mini posing adults.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The people who made this film brought the same loving attention to the characters that the characters do to the small feathered creatures they care for so deeply.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A sweet, gentle, and humorous movie with winning performances across the board. It leaves you with a warm feeling inside.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
David and his friends are well-drawn portraits of innocents at an excruciatingly awkward age.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
What's there hits the mark, so much so that I'll confess this one left me misty-eyed.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Nicely acted and emotionally genuine, the picture doesn't necessarily demand attention, but it earns appreciation through its delicate, nicely observed handling of sensitive issues.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Though it's hardly an odd duck, "A Birder's Guide to Everything" has its own sweet call.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
A delightful coming-of-age tale...sweet and funny, with plenty of heart and intelligence.
Village Voice
Sherilyn Connelly
It's ultimately yet another movie about fathers and sons who need to learn how to hug. That's a theme which could stand to go extinct for a few years.
NPR
Joel Arnold
The film is far from a melancholy wallow, but it does examine the ways we cope with loss and the conflicts that result when one person's healing process is faster or different from another's.
Austin Chronicle
Monica Riese
A Birder's Guide to Everything should be standard issue for anyone looking to relearn the importance of a flock.
The Dissolve
Jen Chaney
[The film] treads in some traditional teen-movie territory[...] But it also subtly conveys the stillness and sense of purpose that comes from scanning the skies [...]
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Each actor fills his role nicely, and they have enough chemistry to animate the routine pitfalls this road trip has in store for them.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Meyer and lenser Tom Richmond capture an intersection of high-school and natural spheres that highlights New England's serenity and beauty without undue pictorial fussiness.
