The standout moments come from its captivating fever dream sequences, adding a fantastic visual layer to the story. The plot follows Irene, who joins her fiancé Louie's unorthodox buck's party weekend, leading to unexpected and unsettling events. Louie's groomsmen's actions take the celebration into a wild, drug-induced ride, painting a darkly humorous and thought-provoking picture of young Australian men.
Although "Birdeater" isn't flawlessly executed, its willingness to explore challenging themes and the imaginative use of fever dream sequences make it a noteworthy contender in the indie film realm. For those intrigued by boundary-pushing storytelling that blends genres, this movie might just be worth checking out.
In a nutshell, a guy invites his fiancée to a bucks' night (along with another girl so she doesn't feel too alone); during this time, with the booze and pills flowing freely, uncomfortable 'secrets' emerge as the participants snipe at one another (when it gets heavy, they fight physically). I came away not quite understanding what their issues were - partly because they often mumbled, their dialogue often seemed meaningless, not to mention their drug-induced hallucinations.
The movie's aim is to reveal the toxic relationship of the engaged couple, but the only thing I deduced was that she was super needy and hoping to get a permanent visa through marriage. The other characters are dislikeable, unattractive, loud-mouthed (when they aren't mumbling) and often rambling on about stuff that doesn't seem to have a bearing on the plot - such as it is.
The music is dreadful, often drowning out the conversation. The plot is all over the shop, fluctuating between scenes of boys being boys, or couples fighting, and verbal attacks coming from nowhere with no apparent reason. And then of course the hallucinatory scenes.
At the end, we aren't quite sure what has transpired and the end result, because everyone is being incomprehensible and moody. As for the title, does anyone know what the significance is? There is a scene with birds in the first half, but that doesn't give a clue.
To sum up, one star - because it ends, eventually.
I normally can point a few good things out but this time can't. I even read the other comments to understand this movie but that was in vain I'm sure anyone rating it higher than a 4 worked on the film.
I wasn't behind the scenes, I wasn't writing it nor directing. But you would think at the first audition or table read that someone did not put their hand up and say " I don't get"?
Some directors, writers just can't seem to make a decent enjoyable movie without it being overly over the top "complicated."
It might have worked worked as a short movie rather than 1 hour and 55 minutes.
What happened to the characters? Why was that woman dancing in nude. How about that ending ( scratches head).?
I read it was their first time directing or writing but you're only as good as your last film. I hope they getter better for a mainstream audience. However this TEAM has the skills and tools to do a better film. The actors I hope to see more off.
All the best on your next project.( make sure your audience can understand what's coming from your mind to script.
All the reviews giving this film one or two stars explain why it deserves zero. Everyone who reviewed this film negatively is a better writer than whoever wrote this screenplay.
So many others have panned this film so well for it's unforgivable garbage content. I agree with EVERY low review for their accuracy.
This film had no plot. And when something semi-resembling a plot appeared, it was quickly lost in a film trying to be interesting. None of the characters are likeable, and perhaps that's supposed to be the point? Even the big reveal was disappointing. It just made the film seem even more inane, unnecessary and unappealing.
This wasn't entertaining at all, it was an exercise in futility, self gratification (for the makers) and annoyance.
ALL REVIEWS FOR THIS FILM ABOVE TWO STARS WERE PROVIDED BY PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THE FILM.
That's obvious. Given they describe and compliment things about the film that it DOES NOT contain.
😂👌👍
At the beginning of the movie they have a warning to the audience saying that there's toxic masculinity and an acknowledgment to the aborigines people that they were on their land or something?
I had read this was a horror movie. There was no horror in the movie. I also read a couple of articles where the journalists were apologizing for the toxic masculinity in the film. I didn't see any of that either.
This is one of the weirdest films I have ever seen in my life. This is one of the stupidest films I've ever seen. 99% of this "horror" movie is a group of kids sitting around talking.
Please save yourself nearly 2 hours. You'll thank me later.
1/10 very odd movie.

Dylan: I didn't wanna do this but I was asked to, so..Louie and Irene.
Louie: Cheers. Thanks, Dylan. Thank you, mate.
Dylan: I love Louie. We all love Louie, yeah? And, um, we are gathered here tonight to memorialise, to adios, as they say, to the man we once knew. A passionate low grade sportsman, only solo, never in a team. He didn't wanna rely on others when he could just fuck things up for himself. Academically, he was notorious for being unremarkable. Louie couldn't say he was smart, you know, he wasn't dumb either. He's just. You're just fucking there, aren't ya? He didn't get invited to many parties either but when he did, he would enjoy laughing at jokes he didn't hear. Fucking stealing people's beers just to pick at the label. Then he'd just leave without saying goodbye to the boys. Uh, but, you know, against all odds, he wasn't embarrassed to be this way, you know. That's how, Louie wanted things. He wanted to hide in plain sight. He had a moderate size porn collection. Haha, wait a minute. I'm joking. Louie doesn't watch any porn.
Louie: Good one, Dylan.
Dylan: You know, as it was, everyone knew Louie like they knew me and Charlie. We came as three. Even when we weren't together. Nah, Charlie was the smart one, I was the funny one and Louie was the nice one. Together we made one interesting person. So, uh, that was that. I like to think Louie and I really came together on two separate occasions. The first time being on Year 10 camp. You know, we went back to the cabin..
Louie: Uh, Dylan, we're not gonna do that story, mate. We can't do that story.
Dylan: Haha, yeah. You're right. Too silly, Louie. Too silly for dinner... The second time was at my house and we went on..
Louie: Dylan, mate. Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, let's just speed this up, hey?
Dylan: Okay. Okay. Okay, Louie. Okay. Okey dokey. What should we talk about then? Mmm? You know sometimes in life, a man's lucky enough to get something that he really wants. You know, like, really get it. And if he doesn't, the next best thing is seeing his best mate get it, so here we are.
Charlie: Yep, here we are.
Dylan: A man of his word.
Charlie: His word indeed.
Louie: Thank you, Dylan. Thank you very much mate.
Dylan: I'm gonna fuck that girl by the end of the night, I promise you both. That's what Louie said to us the first time he saw Irene. Johann's birthday. Party at the beach. Really scenic. Waves. Sand. Seagulls. It was beautiful. Oh, and Louie, he didn't even know who she was but he wanted her. She didn't even know who she was there with, if she was available, but old Louie wanted her. And then Irene got drunk, like really drunk. And Louie was sober. In fact, a clever onlooker might have been able to tell you that old Louie over here was a bit more generous when pouring the drinks for his new best friend Irene than he was when he was pouring those drinks for himself. And in the end, hey! That's the first time Louie fucked Irene. Hey? Or shouldn't I have said that.
