Little Wing

Wonderful movie for tweens. Lessons to learn about bad decisions made for good reasons without thinking about consequences until after the mistake. Brooklynn Prince is never disappointing, she's an incredible young actress grows with each role. Che Tafari is on his way. Another special actor at such a young age. Looking forward to see future work by them. Brian Cox one of my favorite veteran actors who never disappoints. The story was very interesting regarding pigeons. Never knew their special instinct to return home. One very special shot when a group of pigeons are set free and their shadows cover the kids lying down in the grass.

I did not read other reviews but i saw cumulative and for me. - this is a great little story - no spoilers but this is worthy of a bowl of popcorn and feet up - chock full of tidbits to remember - I am always amazed at Hollywood and the actors that are truly actors and not turning performance after performance as he same character - we all know of whom i speak 0- Brian Cox - we love to hate and love him and if i could offer awards he would get one for this role - and "i'll go Beth Dutton on you". She is great in her small role and not a once do you see a Beth Dutton but a mom... I truly would recommend this to most anyone as a decent nights entertainment...

2.5 out of 5 stars. Little Wing is a pretty bad coming of age drama film about a teen who is struggling with the idea of her parents getting a divorce. Her mom wants to sell there home. And she comes across a guy who introduces her to pigeon racing. Yes. She falls for pigeon racing. While going through new changes in her life. Plot was heartfelt. The direction does leave a lot of undeveloped supporting characters that gets forgotten in the end. The acting is terrible and flat with the cast ensemble. The main actress performance feels like she is literally reading straight off the script with no characterization. It is a drama film that is forgotten.

In terrific coming-of-age drama "Little Wing" uncool 13yr old Brooklynn Prince (excellent) lives in Portland, Oregon with mum Kelly Reilly (great) & surly brother Simon Khan. To try saving their home after her parents recent divorce, Prince has pal Che Tafari help her steal a valuable racing pigeon (long story) from top breeder Brian Cox (also excellent)... which thru Cox's character (well written, as all are, by John Gatins) sparks an unlikely friendship between he & Prince just when she needed it most. For those wondering how anyone could love pigeons (and/or life), director Dean Israelite's wonderful film may have the answers. Heart-warming stuff.

What a fun movie with a unique story line. What a future for the young actor, Brooklyn Prince. I sincerely hope one day when she looks back on this movie she appreciates the fact she was able to act in a movie with Brian Cox. One of my favorite actors of all time. He doesn't pull his acting chops for a moment in this movie either. Some of these scenes were intense too. The young lady held her own. I can't believe how well this movie was done. I love when a creator takes a subject that we wouldn't think about in our daily lives. Pigeon racing. What? And oh my goodness the cinematography in one of the last scenes (don't want to be a spoiler) is phenomenal. Seriously, breathtaking work. I know I mentioned Brian Cox, he's one of my all time favorite actors, but can't forget Kelly Reilly's performance is amazing also. Being able to step away from her Yellowstone role and play a softer side of the human condition was a pleasant surprise.
