Critic Reviews for Birdy

Cage struggles with a character that is no more than a foil to Birdy...
Belying the lightheartedness of its title, Birdy is a heavy adult drama about best friends and the after-effects of war, but it takes too long to live up to its ambitious premise.
A trifle self-indulgent -- well, it is directed by Alan Parker -- but never boring
A very strange and beautiful movie.
Most of Birdy is enchanting.
Though largely confined to a military hospital, this post-Vietnam drama is powerfully acted by Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage.
Audience Reviews for Birdy
Real great performances by Matthew Modine and Nic Cage (I know right?), the movie however just isn't my cup of tea.
Super Reviewer
This movie has a realistic feel, as it tells the story of two friends, one of which is insane and thinks he's a bird. I saw this on TV the other day, I thought the characters were interesting, but the story was slow and boring. Overall it's an okay movie, though.
Super Reviewer
Incredibly touching story about two friends whose lives were destroyed by war. Alan Parker's direction is flawless, as well as the performances and the soundtrack. An emotional roller coaster ride that feels more genuine every time.
