Not enough story - Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry review by NL
A woman who never smiles lives in a dour village in Georgia. Her friends are not very nice to her. She has a fling. That's about it. This is film is slow. Not all slow films are bad, but it is nice to feel that the story is going somewhere. The main character is very underplayed, which may be realistic, but doesn't make for sparkling entertainment. One thing happens right at the end of the film, which I won't 'spoil' now, and this was the first moment in the film when I found myself thinking 'This is interesting - I wonder what she will do next', but then the film ended. Possibly, the film should have started with its ending and progressed from there. This is the sort of film that art critics give awards to, but it does not have entertainment as its priority.

More characters like Etero - Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry review by CL
It is impossible for forget her face. Her eyebrows, herseriousness and her smiles, her pauses and her thinking before she speaks. We need more central characters like her in cinema. The film is both realistic, in portraying normal lives, and dreamy, in the cinematography, the colour schemes, and the wordless sequences. It takes us on a narrative arc which starts in downfall, and ends with an open door. I loved it.
