Upon William's death, the brothers discover that William gave away his inheritance to the Indigenous people of Bird--a rural hamlet in Northern Canada.

Victoria Luxford D Movies Offering a surprise twist in the third act that will prompt some discussion, The Birds Who Fear Death takes the framework of a road movie and creates something much more substantial. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films The third act feels hackneyed and contrived, with the pivot into something more serious taking away from the gentle, unhurried buildup that his story had. Rated: 2/5 Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Adam Breach, Carmen Moore and Graham Greene are a delight to see, but the film lacks of an emotional standpoint. We care very little about these characters moving through real problems with unreal resolutions. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Sabina Dana Plasse Film Threat The Birds Who Fear Death is a mindful film about living and what is left behind. It’s a conscious effort to tell a soulful and connected story about Indigenous people. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak It’s heartfelt, beautifully made and carries a much deeper meaning than we may ever realize. Rated: 7/10 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal Director Sanjay Patel spills the truth in timely fashion and tells another indigenous story – one about the land they’re on – that should prompt discussion and make something like this resonate.
