Critics Consensus

Muddled, tedious, and uninspired, Songbird's gimmick never coalesces into a meaningful story about pandemic lockdown.

Overall, sure, I guess a film based on Covid was only a matter of time. At best, the film is a love story, but there's no character development or reason given for viewers to care. What's worse is the film is dull and highly forgettable with side characters who are pointless to the main plot. Sure, visually, it can be pleasing and the film has a semi-decent audio track, but this isn't enough to praise this film to anyone I know. With the majority of Australia in lockdown as I watched this film and wrote this review, it's impossible not to feel somewhat bugged a little. In the end, I feel it's doubtful Songbird would make someone's day better if watched today.

If you need something to watch? Do it. It's just a movie after all and you've probably watched worse.

The Age (Australia)

As a comment on the actual pandemic, Songbird is highly equivocal: perhaps this too can be attributed to Bay, who packs his films with mixed messages.

Rated: 2/5

San Jose Mercury News

This Michael Bay-produced travesty exploits the coronavirus epidemic for thrills. That's right, for thrills.

Songbird isn't very good, which you might expect for something thrown together so quickly.

Radio Times

Director Adam Mason's dizzying camera sweeps and choppy editing upend what could have been a poignant drama.

Next Best Picture

If you're going to be so bold as to exploit a global issue, you should at least try to make it entertaining.

The fun is few and far between, and the film is simply a dud.
