AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The Yellow Birds has a strong cast and a worthy message, but they're both lost in this war drama's rote, clichéd story.

As "war is hell" movies go, this one is better than usual.
A rather dispiriting slog of a movie.
"The Yellow Birds" is a difficult film that hammers home its point that war is a living hell that extends far beyond the battlefield.
Making a late appearance in the Iraq War movie cycle, the impressively acted "The Yellow Birds" manages to leave an affecting mark even as it constantly struggles to find a distinctive voice of its own.
Watch it once, and you could come away a little underwhelmed; watch it twice, and you begin to suspect that its almost humdrum rhythms are exactly the point.
It's not only that The Yellow Birds doesn't have anything new to say, but that it's playing movie karaoke with other, better war movies.
