Istvan K Feb 17 A supremely important American film, Bird is a near-masterpiece whose main flaw is the depressing and tragic nature of the story being told. Forest Whitaker gives a towering performance as Charlie Parker, a legend of American culture and art. A very underrated movie, hopefully never forgotten, that was massively snubbed by the Oscars. See more Dallas H 09/14/2024 Here we are with a biopic about Charlie Parker, a jazz musician with a drug addiction, and it was a flick directed by Clint Eastwood. I could not have guessed how well the film holds together until I saw it myself. I liked this movie. It's good!

See more Eye C 01/26/2024 A depressing movie for a depressing life. And there's no other way to make this movie. A well done film, but a little bit harsh to watch. See more 10/01/2023 Eastwood is a good director and he captures Billy Bird to a tee. He inserts enough of a jazzy vibe reminiscent of the era. Forrest Whitaker is excellent too. Yet the film goes on so long and there’s a drab atmosphere that drains all joy from the viewing experience.

What drove him to drugs and drink? What made him the musician he became? There's a little talk about it, but this is a movie, not a book, show me. See more Read all reviews
