Phil Hoad

Guardian

With an unerring but sardonic sense of how death presses in on us all, this is a promisingly pungent debut from Mitchell.

Rated: 4/5

Rebecca Sayce

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It is impossible to take your eyes off the screen with each revelation, and when everything ties together, it feels like the ultimate thrill despite the horrific nature of it all.

Rated: 4/5

Kurt Halfyard

ScreenAnarchy

Equal parts psychological mystery, romance, and cool examination of taboos around love and death, that, when all combined, feels like a provocation.

Film Stories

Unlike many horror films, Broken Bird doesn’t aim to gross you out. It asks for your empathy and to consider how difficult it is letting go and being alone in such a cold world.

Rated: 4/5

What a Scream Podcast

...Broken Bird softly caresses some taboo subjects, whilst also exploring how a western society deals –or doesn’t deal– with the reality of grief and death.

Rated: 5/5
