This is a strange and fascinating - but that likable - story about a kid who becomes obsessed with birds and then literally goes crazy. Matthew Modine plays the introverted "Birdy." A young Nicholas Cage plays his best friend, "Al."
It's not a particularly pleasant story. In fact, it's downright depressing many times. It also had an unusual ending, one the critics seemed to all pan but I liked. I thought it was neat.
The movie does keep your interest, so it gets decent points for that, and it certainly presents a unique character study.
I haven't seen this film in a long time, but after writing this review, I'd kind of like to view it again.....depressing or not.
