Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
If you're willing to enter the world of downbeat northern gloom in Bluebird, it's a delicate and affecting drama with grace notes of mystery and redemption.

On one level, "Bluebird" is a bitter slice of life about hardy, stoic New Englanders battling the elements and a crumbling regional economy. On another, it's a poetic meditation on the human struggle to make sense of a cruel and indifferent universe.

The dangling ending won't appeal to everyone, but nobody makes a movie like "Bluebird" with that in mind, anyway.

rotten:
What a shame that the first film to star venerable stage actress Amy Morton is this terminally arty drama.

rotten:
Earnestly well-intentioned and doggedly uncommercial, this is the kind of film that's worth rooting for in principle, but a solid cast and evocative 35 mm photography can't compensate for its slightly stultifying familiarity.
