Member Rating:  
The friendship between two teens is put to the test when they run away together on an ill-fated adventure in this independent drama. Lily (Juno Temple) and Alison (Kay Panabaker) are two close friends growing up in a dead-end community near the Salton Sea. Both girls are 15 years old, and Lily is already desperate to pull up stakes and move on to somewhere more exciting. Alison, on the other hand, is content in her hometown and isn't eager to accept the responsibilities of adulthood just yet. But she wants to support her best friend, and when Lily steals her stepfather's truck and announces she's headed for Los Angeles, Alison impulsively agrees to tag along. The girls soon fall in with a gang of scruffy skate punks; Lily becomes infatuated with one of the guys, who barely acknowledges she's around, while Alison becomes increasingly convinced they're bad news, especially when they try to lure the girls into a potentially dangerous scheme to make money. Little Birds was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I enjoyed this film. Kinda dark, trippy adventure for a young girl seeking something she can't seem to find at home. She starts down a slippery slope and has to decide whether she wants to continue down the same path. Juno Temple is a great, up-and-coming actress. She was also recently in Killer Joe where she also turned in a great performance. If nothing else, rent this to check out her skills if you've never seen her act before.

"I travelled halfway around the world to find out that people are dumb and cruel everywhere. I could have just stayed home." Memorable line from Little Birds which comes across as sensational for an indie movie. But, keeps both feet on the ground.

I just thought this film was okay. It took a while for me to get into it, and it didn't get too much better for me. Would not see it again.

This is an OK character movie with good acting by the two girls. The story and directing should have been better.

Bore-ing! No real point to the story, just a bunch of cobbled together scenes. No background to the characters, just opens up. Pass on it!
