Critic Reviews for The Messenger

Gorgeous slow-motion footage of birds caught midflight against black backdrops is enthralling, although the doc tends to flit between narratives.
For the most part, The Messenger does for songbirds what Winged Migration did for big birds.
The slow-motion close-ups alone should convince you these magnificent creatures are well worth the effort.
Filmmaker Su Rynard never loses sight of the winged tunesters' sheer beauty, or their emotional and symbolic pull.
Over all, the arguments are persuasive, the message from the birds powerful, and the film a rich and satisfying call to action that is presented with some novel ideas for how to restore the ecological balance.
The filmmakers, like the songbirds they advocate for, are only messengers, but their message is persuasive and terrifying.
