A Bird of the Air

There were a lot of good moments in this movie. But how to describe it overall? Perhaps it tried to be just a little bit slice of life and just a little bit stream of consciousness? The two leads each did a great job and they worked well together. I thought it was fairly well written. And the subtle humor moments were perfect! Pretending for a moment that I can tell for sure, I thought the directing, the editing, even the camera work were all mostly quite well done too.

On the rating, there was one sex scene that could have been (should have been) toned down. There's always something bizarre about our entertainment world and their ratings always trying to overtly sexualize kids. Why give 13 year olds a short snippet of a super sexualized moment to take notice of? Well there are a few obvious guesses, none of them good. Why for any of us across all ages? Most aren't after vicarious sex for a lovely, healthy sex life. There's naturally a lot of questioning across the land about the healthiness of relationships among those who think we all need a lot of vicarious sexuality. And there are a lot of face palms out here in the world.
